Thanks again for the info!

From just about all accounts, iGuidance is good software. I LIKE Arkon's version of it on my x50v with WM 2003SE. The only problem is that if I were to upgrade to WM5, Arkon's version won't work.

[Edit: You're NOT using an x51v like I originally assumed.]

I'd recommend that if you want software based on iGuidance, get the real deal and just stick with iGuidance. They update fairly regularly.

I haven't tried OnCourse Navigator, TomTom, or Destinator so I can't really vouch for them. There are a few sticky threads in the GPS section that weighs pros and cons. Look for ones started by ikehiker. He's the GPS guru on here.
