Well this was an interesting read. 13 pages(so far)Lots who are bragging about belonging to the Flat Earth Society. Those who are trying to justify buying a overpriced stand alone GPS map system. I agree 10-15 years ago it was nearly the only game in town. Not so much any more. I have ben using CoPiolot and have had good results. I have it on my 10in tablet and on my 6S Edge phone. I had Waz for a while but deleted it. I also run Google Maps on my 17in laptop but have found the tablet to work ok and not as bulky. One thing that I like about CoPilot is you down load your maps when you have free WIFI so you don't use data. This can be especially important if you are near the Canadian border. Your phone can and will pick up a Canadian tower and not tell you. Had this happen to some people we were with in Eastport Main International roaming is not cheap. I learned to turn off data when close to the border. Give me my CoPilot and Gas Buddy and I am good to go.
I wonder how many pages we can grow this thread.

Just saying.
