I love the software that came with my Nextar, way better than the Garmin or Magellan that I have. Mine's about 5 years out of date, I just work around the missing roads. It's not a big deal, it's not like they move the roads around every year.

Mine runs linux, so I don't know if the gps app would be the same as a winders base one.

At least Nextar has an update. Magellan declared my Roadmate 2200 obsolete the day they made it and never released a map update.
