Many users agree with you that went they went to Version 10 (Car and RV laptop version) and Version 11 (equivalent to version 10, but for trucks) that they like the previous "S&T" style of interface better. They went to that interface because it could port easier over to Windows CE for windshield mounted GPS (4", 5", and 7" models) without having to write 2 entirely different interfaces. It remains a controversial decision to this day indeed. http://www.laptopgpsworld.com/4844-copilot-update-service#post44006 |

I guess what confused/confuses me about when the switched from the "S&T-style" (more Windows standard) interface to something more like the smartphone interface was this post: Anyway, somewhere in there ALK changed the interface, and I guess if the "Custom Place Import Wizard" wasn't already gone in 10/11, it's gone now in v8 laptop. |
