 |
|
Looking at Copilot5 and Tom Tom what is the best.
Purchased hp1710 with Tom Tom before xmas and was disapointed,after getting it up and running i could not do things with it as i thought.
The reason for this was that it was a cut down programme for the 1710 so you could not download POI's and camera alerts according to Tom Tom's website.The programme said i lived in an unnamed road that has only been here for 10 years.
So i am wondering if i should go for copliot instead even though there customer service has not replied to 4 emails in the past 9 days??
Can you use postcode searcher,s in TTN and can you input you own routes.The reason why being a lorry driver hard to read a map in cities in the nightime and using sat sav as a saftey device. |

If you are a truck driver and have to drive to multiple locations during the day then CoPilot is the better solution - it has a good route planner and optimizer

to be honest and having both copilot 5 and ttnav3 may be you should gone for ttnav3 as it better for what you need

| Ok thanks for the info but with copilot can i import the vast list of POI's that is listed on this site or are they for Tom Tom only.This would make a difference to which 1 i buy. |

With POIconverter you can use them with pretty much any program on the market..
