My question is, what is the best navigation software to install ? (I want to tour Ireland and Europe). I am used to TomTom and like it although have been told Garmin or Igo is also very good.
I`ve bought a 16gb micro sd card (to put in the new gps unit). I`m fairly I.T. literate and this forum seems really useful.
I would have loved to have purchased the TomTom Rider 2 (for the twisty roads feature), but that was too expensive, so Ideally would want to install that ? (if that's possible)
Any help/advice would be really appreciated as I go to Ireland on 13th May.
Thanks in anticipation

Tomtom isn't going to work properly and Garmin isn't much better, they're both old and basic now, igo 8 or Primo have all the latest features and is the easiest to install.

So it's a no brainer.

Many thanks for that.
Is there any software tailored for motorcycles? (like the TomTom Rider 2).
Which would you say is best Igo 8 or Primo ?
Do they both cover Europe and Ireland?
Is it just a matter of downloading the files and putting them onto the micro sd card?
Many thanks
Lloyd

I'm not sure how motorcycle friendly they are but you can add skins to change the layout and colour scheme etc
iGO 8 came first and Primo is a later version of it, both can use the same maps and other content including the UK and Ireland
It's a case of downloading the application and maps then placing on a sd card and running it on your device, no keygens or activation is needed
