I've already written this once, but it didn't appear - so here goes again.. I've been very pleased with Co-Pilot. It's been around on winmo and Palm for a few years so it's a mature product. It has a couple annoyances but I've got a Tom Tom unit and I've ditched that now in favour of my iPhone with Co Pilot. It has better graphics than the Tom Tom, the screen is more responsive (obviously) and it has decent features like live weather, fuel prices, and traffic (which I think you have to subscribe to). It also has a built in messegaing system whereby you can enter friends email addresses and send them messages, and they can watch your progress on a map on the computer at home, which is cool! The message reply system on the iPhone seems to be full of bugs at the moment, and you can't control the ipod from within Co pilot - but they say that is on the way. The maps are all stored on the phone so you don't need a connection, only if you're using the live services. For 25 quid you can't go wrong - unfortunately it's buried right down in the app store so takes a bit of finding.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.

Check out Co Pilot. It's half the price of Tom Tom or Navigon.

Co-Pilot could not find 1/2 the street address I tried.
I was really surprised because ever other nav system I've tried (but standalone and iphone based) had no problems with any of the addresses.
I delete co-pilot after 1 day...
