right last week i treated myself to a new iphone 3gs nothing wrong with my blackberry but hey i was bored so £453 later
i was messing with the new toy (anyway after 5 days i got my 3g sim card so were all good)

anyways back to the point - i was using Orange Maps on the BB pretty good never let me down, i called orange APPLE wont give them a licence for it on the iphone so no free sat nav

so i scanned about and the cheaper is NAVMII so downloaded it today so far so good £20 well spent gonna test it proper end of week with trip to Loch Lomond and surrounds

I have Navigon Western Europe on mine.  Works very well imo.

Got me to the Nurburgring and back with ease and picked up all those hidden speed cameras on the E40  Whistle

Only place I have had issue picking up satellites was in Wales (whilst running late for a friends wedding  Whistle )

I'm using Copilot and am finding it to be pretty good.

I bought it early on and it was a bit ropey to start with but they have done a lot of updating, in a short space of time such that it now gives Tomtom a run for its money - especially when cost is taken into account.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it - with the proviso that the gps chip in the iPhone isn't as powerful as in a totally dedicated satnav such as Tomtom or Garmin.

I would choose Co-Pilot, i think you are paying quite a "name premium" to have the TomTom one.

I use it on my HTC Hero, and its realy good.

Be warned though, it eats your battery life, so make sure you get a charger. And when you choose your charger, buy online, but get a brand name, you really dont want it going bang in your car!
