Well, it's time for me to do another road trip -- this time Baltimore to Sarasota by way of Western NC and Atlanta GA on the way down, and Savannah GA and Charleston SC on the way back.

My last road trip was to Pittsburg, and I had hoped to have a GPS for that trip (I had to return my Deluo mouse GPS -- never got it working on my Axim) and this time I thought I'd try another brand. I bought a Haicom GPS Bundle at BuyGPSnow and the folding CF GPS worked flawlessly from the get-go.

Only problem is the Mapopolis software. I can get active guidance for my trips in Maryland, but as soon as a trip requires travel into PA (York) or VA/DC (Georgetown, Arlington, etc.) I can get a route, but not active guidance. I've loaded all the available maps I can find that are on my CD for the metro Baltimore-Washington-Northern VA corridor, but still no automated voice.

I'll be really disappointed if I can have automated guidance on my multi-state trip.
