| Purchased to use on a laptop as a secondary route planning
tool for a motorhome.Immediately familiar to anyone who uses
a Garmin GPS in the car.This was chosen over M/S Streets and
Trips because it was 'Garmin'. Unless it is purchsed along
with a Garmin USB GPS, it can't be 'registered' with Garmin
- hence no map updates. This might be overcome by a bit of
'hacking' on a regular Nuvi map update - yet to be proven.
Overall, a nice bit of software. | |

| When I originally got this sw with the GPS20, I installed
and used it quickly and it was good and I had even written
a review to say so! Well...I must apologize to those who
read it! If you give it a serious trial, you'll find that
the MobilePC SW is far from NRoute in usability, user
friendliness and plain smarts. It hangs a lot, sometimes
changes of screen view will freeze the sw and you must
restart including restarting the route. | |

| This software from Garmin turns your laptop or Car PC into a
Nuvi GPS unit.
I had already purchased a USB GPS puck, and I tried out a
dozen different GPS programs. This software won out
The only think lacking is the great onscreen keyboard from
the Nuvi series, but I guess they expect it to be run on a
laptop, not exclusively from the touchscreen.
There is one thing to note, the activation code found in the
dvd folder is only good for one computer. Similar to
Microsoft's latest software, it needs an internet connection
to verify the activation. If you buy it with a Garmin brand
GPS puck, it will be activated to that hardware ID. If you
buy the software alone, it is stuck to the computer. | |
