We use the free version of CoPilot as a replacement for paper maps so my wife can figure out where we are when we might want to do side trips or check the route the Garmin is taking us on.

She was so frustrated with it, and the several hour longer it took her (operator error mostly) that when we made some local trips and she saw how our 2589 worked she bought one before she went back.
