iGO: Map-Based Navigation in an SD Card
 "iGO, a GPS navigation software product, offers drivers an efficient solution to these and similar problems. Its easy to use user interface and its accurate digital maps make navigation quite an experience. Even the novice will easily learn how to use the software. Thanks to its outstandingly user-friendly menu, any feature or setting can be accessed through not more than one or two clicks from wherever you are within the menu. The program is multilingual, and, naturally, written as well as verbal instructions are also available in Hungarian."
Time for an update. Earlier in the year, we reported on a GPS navigation solution known as 'Nav N Go'. The final product is now known as iGO. It comes pre-installed on an SD card and requires no additional software whatsoever. Simply pop it into your Pocket PC (or GPS-enabled Pocket PC if you wish to take advantage of the navigation features) and you're good to go. For the moment, iGO appears to be usable in Hungary only, though it will be expanded to countries in central and western Europe in the near future. But on to the features - iGO includes an easy-to-use multilingual menu, multipoint route planning, automatic rerouting, verbal navigation, an advanced "bypass" feature, a very detailed map of Hungary, interactive 2D and 3D map views, automatic day and night modes, a separate digital map mode, personal track logging and POI data, a special safe driving mode, and portrait and landscape screen support. Additional information can be found at the iGO website.

I have to say this is one of the best GPS-map programs, if not the best. I have reviewed it (and own it) and i think it is worth to wait for the european maps for ppl in europe.

Call Me Skeptical
Call me skeptical. It's only available in Hungary right now (although they say they're getting more European maps) and their Web site has no screen shots (at least, not on their English pages). In fact, their English site only has two pages. :roll:
After a little investigation, I did find some screen shots on their Hungarian pages. The program certainly looks nice, but it's hard to tell how well it works, of course.

I think it's available in Israel too as far as I remember. And the people behind the software are the same who are running PDAMill... So... you can expect quality...

Here is a review
A few screenshots, looks nice. Can't understand what the verdict is though because of my limited language skills .
Anyone who can explain "the verdict" ?

I can't read a word of Hungarian, though I did have a word with KTamas about it (who has also written a review of it here) and he speaks very highly of it. Word on the street is that this GPS package is two thumbs up.

Shame the original video demos don't seem to be available anywhere anymore. They really showed off the product. I think I saved them, but I'm not at home this week to look. I don't think I'd be inclined to buy an SD based program though.

Wrong. PDAMill also has plans for developing - or doing it already - gps navigation system software for PDA, but this doesn't belong to them Why would they "hide" the product under a new, unknown brandname and why not use the world famous PDAMill name for it? I think they've never done bad work with any software yet :P
