Now available in a Software Only version.... looks great. Maybe time to give up on the POS Destinator3, which STILL can't do roundabouts in the UK some 3 months after its launch....

€249 for the European, Software only version. Wish they had a demo version to try though.

Yeah, I agree it's not good. I keep being told on a weekly basis that the updated version will be available in a weeks time.

Not good!

Any more news on the Route 66 Review? The product looks excellent with some great feature ideas - Navtech Mapping as well I believe. Having been bitten by buying D3, I'm reluctant to spend more if it turns out to be another product that doesn't live up to the hype.

(Still waiting yet another week for the promised Destinator3 update).
