Are any of you guys using Wayfinder for GPS with your C905? How do you like it?

My W760 was pretty solid with Wayfinder, but the C905 seems to be very laggy, not as accurate, and very very slow to recalculate using Wayfinder compared to my W760.

has anyone else noticed this?

c905's gps sensor is very weak in order to find and keep signal so its not comfy at all to use it as a gps device....

Yes, C905's GPS is almost useless. Kept losing fix when other GPS devices even those on mobile phones are still working.

well, it looks like Wayfinder is now being discontinued..

that leaves Wisepilot as the next best alternative for GPS software.. and its $99 a year

I was actually given a free 1yr subscription from the Amaze team, but that app just does not work well for me.
The maps are out of date, and spin out of control at times, it also tries to route me through gated communities all the time, and the GPS accuracy is just off with that app.

I wish it worked better, as I can use it for free, but i need something more reliable.
