The graphical map display or text directions will guide travelers to specified addresses or points of interest. Users can also choose to navigate to addresses from their Pocket Outlook contacts, their "favorite" places, and their most recent destinations. The combination of Pharos and Toshiba products creates a powerful navigation solution for business and vacation travelers alike."<br /><br />I got excited when I saw the title, because I thought it was going to be integrated GPS. Maybe next year...

I think that 8 mile long link might need to be 8.5 mile long. :)

As is, I can't get to the story.

I wish Pharos spent more time revamping their software rather than work on marketing deals ;-) I can't believe they're getting ready to release v6 that's virtually unchanged from v2..

I'm still using v3.3. I'd pay for the upgrade, but like you said, what really changed? And I'm no longer using it with the iGPS 180 I got it with.

Jason, your link's screwed up.

I thought SassKwatch was referring to a wireless link.
