Just checked out the site and CoPilot Live Laptop is on sale for $129. Usually it is much more expensive than that!

It's $40 and a 30 day money back guarantee.

What's better about your $2k in-car navigation vs your $40 PC based software? I used a few versions of Delorme Street Atlas before I purchased a Garmin GPS w/ autorouting. I also own a brand new 2007 Chevy Suburban LTX with their in-dash navigation. Other then voice prompts in the Suburban, it does the same routing as my $400 handheld GPS.

Delorme has several bad reviews, so I think I will skip it. I guess there isn't anything of that caliber available for laptops.

Probably the only other popular package in that price range is Delorme Street Atlas. You can usually pick it up discounted a little online or one of your local computer retailers.

From my experience, MS is more straight forward and Delorme more powerful but with a more complicated interface.

I really don't like the software and was wondering if anyone can recommend alternative mapping software that works on a laptop running windows xp. Surprisingly I found very little via a google search.

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16820361 Fri, 01 Sep 2006 07:35:28 EDT
