I am living in Califonia and I had TomTom, Routis & Destinator. Here is my comments:
TomTom:
Pro: Fast, Best user interface, very easy to use and the map is very easy to read. Many things can config for advance user.
Con: No street name is display on navigation mode. Voice prompt message is not very helpful. (eg. "exit to the right in XXX feet" won't help much for freeway intersection)
The routing had serious problem sometime. (Try San Jose Airport to Los Angele make U drive 480 miles instead of 400 mile !!!! )
Routis:
Pro: Route are more reliable, street name are printed on the map in navigation mode. Very helpful voice prompt for freeway exit (eg: "In 200 feet, exit to freeway 101 South")
Con: Relatively slow. Cannot config hard button. Map is not as pretty as Tomtom.
UI is harder to use and understand.
Destinator: almost everything is in the middle of above 2.
For me, I use Routis primary since the most important things for car navigation are RELIABLE route and good VOICE PROMPT. But sometime, I just open both (w/ GPS GATE to enable 2 apps sharing one GPS) and switch back & forward.
i am living in california too , do u think tomtom 2004 will fix the problem u said ?
thanks .. and i am wondering if u can show me where to get those software .
