TT5 work best on my Mio 168 & is by far the best/fastest IMO.
I did have Navigon 5 but it was far too slow so I ditched it.
AA navigator worked but was rubbish IMO so I was glad I tried my mate's prog before buying.
For moutain biking or walking out in the stick then Memory map works great. |

| CoPilot runs on the MIO 168 too, and appears to be much improved following the latest patch. |

But do you still have to have a route set before it will warn you of cameras, or have they solved that one?

I agree with maca 2
TT5 runs fine on the Mio 168, much better than Navigon 5 or Mio Map which is very clunky as map browsing and map routing is slow. From what i can see in other posts this is a "feature" of the Navigon software and not the Mio.
If you dont already have the Mio 168 it is an excellent combined PDA-GPS unit on which to run TT5.
cheers

You still have to have a route set; but I don't know how that compares with other PDA based solutions. |

With TT5 the POIs are warned whether you have a route set or not.
The reason I ask is that my son has got Copilot bundled with his latest phone. He is used to TT and the fact that cameras will only warn when he has a route set is driving him mad. The whole point is to be reminded of cameras even if you knoe where you are going - with most journeys you don't plot a route.
