I purchased GMPC from http://www.semsons.com/gamopcwigps2.html and have to say this is great software. I actually just got it today so can't really do a full review yet, but instantly comparing it to my avic d3 it blows it away with extra features and quality. My main use for this will be in my carputer.

Live traffic is not the best right now, at least thru XM,. I had it on my alpine unit but didn't renew cause its pretty limited to the larger city freeways. Will resubscribe once the satellites get better and more coverage is offered..

The information is just not up to the minute. More like 30 minutes. But it is a nice feature. Just quite not quite there yet.

yeah, the MSN one was suppose to be updated every 2 minutes... at times it wasn't off by much... but at times it would indicate accidents at particular locations, but when I went by the spot(s).... you can see debris on the ground, apparently already taken care of... :rolleyes:
 
are you embedding this into a front end? I think guys have embeded the garmin software in roadrunner, think that's the only one it'll work with. why'd you choose this over Iguidance or destinator?

destinator works great with centrafuse, native to the app. Iguidance is also very carpc friendly with it's umpc interface, both can be used with centrafuse or RR...
 
I have the trial version of centrafuse and have GMPC embedded in, it works pretty good and centafuse even has a OSK that works with GMPC.
