I have purchased an iGuidance 3.0 from the BuyGpsNow and want to share my first impressions and get some feedback from other folks and (may be!) from iNav. (I've also posted this on GPSPassion forum). I use iG3.0 with my Dell Axim X50v. Leaving aside all the blessings due, I want to highlight the issues that I have found and that I consider to be very important for any PDA based GPS software.
No route is perfect in ANY routing software. The major problem with the iGuidance is that there is no way to add the waypoints in order to correct the route (although the iNav website advertises the waypoint option in version 3.0); one can only do it via stopovers. Here are the problems with this method that make it nearly useless:
1.After final destination has been entered, I tap on the map and select “set stopover” from the context menu. Nothing happens! The route does not change; the itinerary does not change.
2.When trying to add the stopover from the Menu – Destination, there is no way to pick the stopover point on the map, one can only do it by address, contacts, POI etc. Thus there is no way to correct the route if it is wrong or not optimal.
3.When the stopover point eventually has been added, there is no way to see the whole route, which includes the Final destination. Not only it is frustrating, but it is dangerous. The remaining route from the stopover point to the final destination may be wrong as well and the driver will only be able to see that after he is on the road. The approach taken by iNav is not well thought through. If the driver DOES NOT WANT to continue the route beyond the stopover point he can simply cancel it. Thus he does not need to be prompted to go to his final destination.
One more important issue to note. The DEMO mode is absolutely useless because it works in a “real time”; one hour trip would take one hour to demo it. It would be MUCH more useful to quickly overview your trip by moving at a much higher speed from the current position to the next turn (as Mapopolis nicely does). Another important MISSING feature is the ability to save the route for future use.

To summarize: The iNav website advertises the iGuidance 3.0 to have “New! Multiple stopover/waypoints”
In my opinion, the waypoint option is not there at all and the iGuidance 3.0 product is not as advertised. The stopover method used in the current version not only is very inconvenient but makes the driving more dangerous.
