Hi Everybody,
It looks like there a few products highly discussed here. Is there is a place where I can find side by side feature evaluation?
Like for example:
Voice command – yes | no
3D view - yes | no
Spoken streets - yes | no
Etc.
It would be really nice.
Hope to win one. :-)

It looks like the install uses a DVD or perhaps using a downloaded .iso.
What I had in mind was installing the program if possible and certainly data on an SD card inserted in the 901 understanding that system files would install in the computer. Then I could keep the GPS unit and the SD card in a sock until I want to use it. Slip in the SD card, plug in the GPS unit, software already loaded, use it while drinking my morning coffee on the balcony.
No thought of installing using another computer or moving the SD card around. Just want to keep stuff off my SSD.
Thanks for your responses.

I just checked my main computer (which has Mobile PC on the E: drive) and there are 2 locations in Documents and Settings\<your name>\Application Data\GARMIN. In \Devices\Garmin Mobile PC, an xml file uses about 4 KB and \GarminMobilePC has files totalling about 2.5 Meg.
Drive cost of the the MobilePC folder on my E: drive is 2.6 Gig but that includes about 1.2 Gig of extra maps I have added.

A shoot-out among Mobile PC, iGuidance, DeLorme, and Streets would be really helpful.

I'm using it on an Acer netbook with 8.9" screen and it works fine.

Many people already have a mobile phone with internal GPS. Are there experiences with using such phones as USB or bluetooth GPS for Garmin Mobile PC? Do you recommend such solution? Or do you recommend rather to buy an extra GPS modul to be used with Mobile PC?
I am using it on a 8" touch screen monitor hooked to my laptop, It works great.
My Sprint aircard has GPS capabilities. It's ok in a pinch, but the external mounted BU-353 works MUCH better.
