Laptop GPS World

Greetings,

I just installed iGuidance 4.0, and have been testing it on the road a bit, in place of my old Garmin Street Pilot. One thing I REALLY miss from the Garmin was the constant display of the next interstate exit. It's not even easy to see the actual exits on the map unless maybe you're zoomed in close.

Is there any way to add interstate exits where they're more obvious?

Otherwise, using a program with a full screen map, rather than that little postage size map on the Garmin is like being able to see for the first time. It's amazing how many details I've noticed about areas I've driven through for years. Very cool

Cheers,
Rusty

Hi Rusty,

Welcome to Laptop GPS World.

Are you talking about your next turn, or the upcoming hwy exit you will be passing?

And yes, iGuidance is gorgeous on a large screen, isn't it ?

Hi Marvin,

When driving down the interstate, with no active navigation entered, the Garmin would continuously tell you how far you were from the next exit. When driving anywhere other than an interstate, it would tell you the next crossroad. I find that I really miss those features, almost enough to keep the Garmin in addition to the iGuidance system.

After a bit of use, I've found that the iGuidance system has the only correct map I've ever seen of my neighborhood! I also love the map display, and size on a laptop.

Sadly, it doesn't seem to make logical decisions on courses if you ask it to take you somewhere. I've seen several examples of this already, but the best was heading South on a long, almost straight highway. It was insisting that I turn off and drive about 5 miles SW, turn E on another highway, only to return and turn South on the same highway I was on in the first place Did it think maybe there was a roadblock ahead

Cheers,
Rusty
