Default Destinator software

I was thinking of getting a GPS/Software bundle from BuyGPSNow.com. The software thats included in the bundle im looking at is called Destinator. Was wondering if any of you guys do/had have this software and what are your thoughts. Thanks.

I don't think Destinator have put out a new version for over a year. Personally I think I would look at a bundle that has OnCourse, iGuidance, Tom Tom, or something that has more recent versions, including more up to date maps.

I did a review of iGuidance if you are interested.

I just received the Globalsat BT338 a week or so ago. It is an excellent receiver. The new SIRF III chipset is much more sensitive than earlier hardware. I can pickup satellites at my desk in our familyroom in the basement of our house. 8)

Good luck with it. I think you will enjoy using the combo.

I like iGuidance V2.1 as well... but if you don't have much need for 3D navigation, I'd recommend Mapopolis.

Mapopolis is a much leaner appplication ( mainly because of its plain interface ).

Great coverage in Canada as well ( probably not very relavent to you )

BTW, I'd take a look at Holux GR236 for GPS unit as well.
