Please pardon my ignorance in asking this question, but having never used any GPS system before I'm clueless: I am planning on buying my first system so I went to the OnCourse site after reading your review, and cannot find any explanation of the choice between buying it on a 2 GB SD versus the slightly more expensive 4 GB SD.

Is the 4 GB version designed for someone that may want or need to save routes? And if so, does that mean mean the 2 GB version does not have enough room on the card for that at all, or just that it it doesn't have as much room?

Hi neighbor!

One of my next reviews is going to be iGuidance, so you'll have to keep me honest on that one!

Thanks for the kind words about the review!

OCN6 does not announce street names. If that's really important to you, I understand that iGuidance will do that. But I have no experience with it (that will change shortly, but nothing for now). Maybe Mike can elaborate?

I got the 2 GB version and had no problem with saving routes. I didn't check how much space the routes would take, but I don't think it's significant. But the 2 GB card contained all of the maps and the software with room to spare. The 4 GB card would just have more free space, because both contain the same version (Premium) with the same maps and # of POIs.

Keep in mind that support for 4 GB SD cards isn't a given with older devices and applications. Some apps on some devices may not be able to access the card unless it's partitioned. The 2GB card, on the other hand, should be no problem with any SD compatible device or application.

I didn't miss your questions... I'll have to do a little research on a couple of them and I'll post a response probably tomorrow.

Thanks... Doug

Thanks for the answer, Doug.

And I was too caught up in my question to remember to tell you how much I appreciated your review. Sorry for that, because I thought it was great!

The new iGuidance 4.0 does indeed add text-to-speech as a major improvement over previous versions. I've used it a couple of times since I received the new version this week. I've been an iGuidance user since the 2.x days. I won't steal any of Doug's upcoming review thunder other than to say I like it a LOT.

Thank you, Doug. If it's too much effort to get any of those answers, feel free to just say you don't know. I'd hate it if you went off and started doing some extra testing just for my sake. ops:

I would LOVE to know how it performs at the I43/I94 junction in Milwaukee. That is a MESS and not one GPS I have used has gotten the routes correctly (TomTom, CoPilot, TeleNav)! I know it is all under construction, but it would be nice if the DOT could provide changes to a site that all GPS programs could access regularly (monthly) and update points. If you can test it I would appreciate it. That would be the ultimate GPS test IMO given the cluster fubar there.
