Will Co-pilot live 7 support AGPS with X1

[daytrade]

Had a question. I'm considering buying Co-pilot live 7 for the X1 and was wondering does Copilot support AGPS? I've seen a few posts on the web that suggest it doesn't but Bengalboy has a video testing out gps on the X1 with Co-pilot and it worked fine. Anyone know if it does or not? Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure but if Bengalboy says it works then I would trust him.

Yes it will work.

I used to love copilot, but I'm switching back to tomtom. I love the way copilot looks, but the maps are wrong too often. When I heard others say this, I thought maybe just the maps in their local areas aren't so good, but no. Im talkin some mistakes on major interstate highways. YMMV.

Do you know where to get text-to-speech voices for tomtom?

Does tomtom do TTS?

That looks like a demo of the Tomtom standalone GPS unit. I dont think their windows mobile client does TTS.

I think you're right KIng, IGO8 is the only software that has this feature right now (i think). But the problem with IGO8 is that I haven't been able to find an 800x480 skin for it. The skin is all you need for it to work.

Does it actually read street names, or does it just say "turn right in 1 mile". TTS is the feature that actually reads street names.
