I'm off to Latvia in a few weeks. I will be driving around the whole of the country and need the most up to date and accurate map. Which software (TomTom/IGO et al) currently possesses the best one.

I ordered my upgdrade through the tomtom website on the 17th June and according to the website it's still stuffed in their warehouse.
For me it took about one week.

Maybe, but it was delivered from the netherlands.... ;-)

Disapointment?
macsoft, i think you have not tried the TOMTOM 5 correctly. I'm a TOMTOM user as i am a Copilot user. I can say to you that your disapointment coul be by:
1. It´s instable at the moment
2. The Portuguese Maps are not so good as Copilot (TeleAtlas from TomTom versus NAVETEK q3 2004 from Copilot). The version 5 from TOMTOM maps are very accurate in big cities and nearby them in Portugal, but in other regions not so good, instead of CoPilot that almost all the Portuguese roads are there (some of them with no name but they are there to navigate...)
3. It doen´t permit you make a waypoint when you are in an area not coverd by map cartography.
4. It not possible to put a destination by geographical coordenates (latitud and longitud).
The other way, excelent 3d Navigation(by far the BEST) excelent and quickly route calculation,and plenty of otpions. I´ve heard that TOMTOM are going to use NAVETEK maps. If so, as NAVETEK maps are the most complete for Portugal by far at the moment, it will be the best navigation software for pocket PC.
Is it possible to combine two or more country maps in TomTom 5. So you can navigate from amsterdam to Berlin; or from Berlin to Paris?
Hey, same question as I answerd this morning on Pocketinfo.nl:
No, you can't combine the maps. You can however install the Germany Plus map and navigate from main roads in the Netherlands to detail roads in Germany.
Halo all,
I'm searching for a compatible navigation software for my new Rhodium (T-Mobile Germany). Important is that I need a map of USA.
All my favorites (Navigon, TomTom) do not offer a map of USA preferably in Germany.
Any tips for me?
Thanks
Pascal
I'm not sure I understand your question. 've never used Navigon, but I certainly know that TomTom sells maps of the USA. Are you saying that you are having difficulty finding out where to purchase these maps from Germany?
Yes, in all german online shops there is no Map of USA.
you could try getting the igo8 standard euro version
http://navngo.com/pages/global/eng/igo_8_description
then get the us map as an extra through
https://www.naviextras.com
'nav-n-go igo8' is known as a nng device on the navieextras site
I've tried Navigon - don't remember why I didn't like it but I ditched it. I have both Garmin and TomTom - both of which I assure you you can get USA maps for (I have them so I know its possible). As for which is the best... Eh... Your mileage may vary. I'm currently in love with the features of Garmin but the positional lag is worse in Garmin than TomTom... I think either one would suit you well, but I'd guess TomTom has a wider array of maps available.
How about CoPilot Live?
At least in the USA, I had the option to buy all of the maps for Copilot Live 8, and not just the North America maps.

I used Iguidance 2009, it comes with an 8Gb card that is tied to the software. If you don't mind using this card, it seems to work pretty well - and it comes with a full set of USA maps.

Hey, I have different maps for Navigon in my Galaxy 3 and when I have just map of Russia, The Baltic states and Finland then it shows those countries. But when I add "Sweden.map", "Germany.map" and "Austria.map" to the map folder then it shows only Sweden, Germany and Austria... and when I erase those 3 maps then I see Finland, Estonia, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia again. What's the catch? I can't use Germany together with Eastern-Europe?
Hi,
I have been searching for a good navigation application for quite some time now but couldn't find any application that has maps for Saudi Arabia.
I was using CO PILOT previously but a lot of popular places were nowhere to be seen on the map.
I am using Google Maps but it requires an internet connection and most of the places that I travel to normally do not have internet availability.
Would appreciate a detailed reply...

As far as I know maps for Saudi Arabia are available for iGO 8 R3. Just search through the web for more information.
You can cache the maps in Google map (with wifi etc) to use it later offline
