Review: Garmin Mobile PC

Hi guys....I've been a long time (year and a half) user of mobile pc on netbook platform...and there have been several discussions during that period on an update to current version of mobile pc including one that suggested the availability of an update prior to year end....anybody have any substantive information on a new release??

Feel free to pm me any questions about Centrafuse. I've been using it for a year or so now. Also, check their website: Centrafuse | A Whole New Way

If you go to the forums, you can see all the plugins available for it.

Doug,

No information on a new release yet. If anyone hears something I hope they'll post it here.

...ken...

Would be interested to win a copy to give it a try how good it is for travelling purpose...

Have been following this thread since inception and have wanted to try GMPC, but being on a fixed income haven't had the chance.

Keith

Great thread and good informaton about GMPC, thanks to all.

If I get a copy of GMPC I'll give it a shot with CF 3.0. I'm running 2.1 in the car now. With 3.0 all GPS programs would function as plug-ins so you basically run whatever you like. Destinator is the one they support out of the box, but most people don't like destinator any more.

There aren't any plugins for CF3 for GMPC as of yet. There are at least 2 people working on them, though.

Destinator is absolute garbage.

I am currently using MS S&T 2010 on a laptop for planning and navigation in my RV. Would Garmin Mobile PC be a better program for the navigation? I would love to win a copy to give it a try and see how good it is for travelling purposes.

Thanks for the contest. This would be a nice opportunity to try a garmin unit with my eee.

Thanks for the contest Marvin. Time to throw my hat in the ring.

You could probably run it with the apploader by 007. It will be nice to have a dedicated one though, because the current one for 2.1 mutes and everything.

I have the software only version and love it! I drive all over the Chicagoland area daily and have not had any routing problems. Garmin Mobile PC is very accurate! And thanks for offering this contest.
