If you want real sat nav with voice directions, maps and all that your choices are Route 66 and Wayfinder. Tomtom is due out soon enough but no idea when.
Yes, these both cost quite a bit, lots more than any other thing out there but you are getting a professional app. |

E99 for wayfinder and E149 for Route66
wayfinder is E99 a year?? and it wants to use my GPRS connection (which will cost me more money!)?
Is there a good reason to choose wayfinder instead of route66 or is this a no-brainer? |

I got Route 66 last week for my P910i, best app I have ever got.
If you need sat nav, get route 66

I noticed today that Navicore have uploaded a tool on their website which allows creation of POIs.
I grabbed the standard pocketgps database of speed/safety cameras and easily converted and uploaded it to my p910i.
Great stuff. I now have cams as POIs, and they optionally/additionally trigger proximity alerts if I'm exceeding the speed limit near the cameras

It's not entirely clear (to me) that he's selling his original, from the description.
He talks about needing a memory card. I thought that Route66 came on a memory card.

OK.
So, it sounds like he's just selling the CD then. No memory card. No gps receiver.
Still, not a bad price.

The P910 cd version is just over 100GBP when ordered direct from Route66, so I would imagine this is a ripped-off cd version.
Don't expect the traffic info to work on it - will probably ask you for an activation code. Stand alone maps should work?
Look at the amount of rip-off TomTom stuff out there - I'm sure they let it happen as a lossleader - people try the software cheap, but then want traffic info etc, so have to pay to get the activation code.
