Hey i was wondering if anyone has any GPS software for the pocketpc like Destinator3 or Copilot Live.

I just got a gps for my ipaq and i need some software for it.

Please let me know if you have any of these.

Im using Destinator 3 on my ipac, works well in Brisbane, and Sydney. crap in Canberra...it gets very confused with all the round-about's. the maps are a bit out of date. used it to get from Canberra to Brisbane and ended up driving over a few lakes according to the maps! It also helps to have the pda set up so u can see the screen while driving, the voice commands aren’t always right!

Destinator 3 is a little out of date but 4 is already being built. It is very expensive ($600rrp) for the software but is mapped by MapInfo who cover 99% of all sealed roads in Australia.

Even local firetrails etc show up on Destinator 3. We have Navman, Garmin, Destinator, Belkin (CoPilot Live) and I've tried them all - I prefer destinator.

Free updates while the version is current. I.e. you can buy it now and get free updates until the new version is released then you have to suck eggs.

Hey Zathris i just got a copy of destinator3, damn its a good program, i was wondering if you could do me a favor, since i have a copy of it and not the original i had to download a destinator.exe file off the net from a ipaq that had it on there and registered, but its from a little earlier version but its still version 3, it works fine but i was wondering if you wouldnt mind emailing me the destinator.exe file off of your pocketpc for me.

My email address is [email protected]

I would apreciate it greatly

2rismo: Do you know what software the factory toyota navigation system uses? I've heard many times over that it's the best nav system in Australia.

Last I checked, Toyota/Lexus were using a Deno (http://www.denso.com.au/satnav_main.htm) system with Whereis (http://www.whereis.com.au/whereis/products...d_invehicle.jsp) maps.

      High temp brake fluid?

      Interesting....can't say I've ever checked it, have always just changed it in the off season as practice

      Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years.

      Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
