[TriLUG] RE:gps software

[Michael Hrivnak]

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.  I'm having lots of fun trying all 
this stuff out, and once I settle down on a few solid apps, I'll report back.

For now, rather than choose between Roadmap and Gpsdrive, I'm using both.  
Roadmap is much handier I think for navigating in a strange place especially 
if you're lost, since the maps are scalable, and it will announce the 
upcoming street.  With Gpsdrive, you have to plan ahead and make sure you 
have maps of sufficient detail of where you will travel, but it looks SO much 
nicer.  Unfortunately, both programs have some serious bugs and/or design 
flaws that limit their useability.
