Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin Mobile PC
Customer Review: Returned iGuidance, bought Garmin Mobile PC, never looking back!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought iGuidance for $100 to work as a GPS application in my car mounted PC.
However after learning how dated the maps were, how clunky the interface was I quickly returned it.
For less then the price of the iGuidance software I bought Garmin Mobile PC, and it came with a better USB GPS unit then I already had. If you think about it your simply getting a good GPS receiver for the low price of $20 compared to the software-only version. And the GPS unit works as your DRM key, so you can install the software in multiple locations and transfer the USB receiver.
As far as the actual Garmin software, it works great. The interface is fast, easy to read and touch-screen friendly. The text-to-speech voice is easy to understand, unlike iGuidance who uses pre-recorded sounds for stuff like "Turn right" and then a horrible text to speech voice for street names. Imagine the sound of two different people telling you...turn right on..and then another separate person half a second later saying ....main street.
Garmin is also smart enough to give you directions ahead of time depending on your speed, and multi-point directions such as "Turn right and then the next left". iGuidance would give me directions only based on how close I was to the destination, ignoring my present speed, you could easily out-drive the turn before it finished trying to tell you what to do.
The interface is very fast, as far as bringing up points of interest and switching screens in general. Adding custom points of interest is also dirt easy. Everything feels very polished compared to iGuidance.
The routings seems pretty smart so far although I have not yet done a long trip using the software.
