CoPilot is not for cargo vans or cars and especially not for turtles.
Your comment “Co-Pilot is probably the worst” highlights how ignorantly poor your navigation skills are and understanding of the CoPilot software.
Now repeat after me, "CoPilot is for professional drivers. TomTom, Intelrouter, Garmin and other like GPS units are for, four wheeler soccer moms; motor cycles, vans and Turtles."

As Turtle was able to back up his words, [and do it without the personal insults that truly ignorant folks can't seem to refrain from hurling], how about you trying to do the same?

Not that it matters, but I was a paid alpha and beta tester for TravRoute, which is what Co-Pilot used to be called, going back to version 1 back in the early 90's, and continued in that capacity up through Co-Pilot version 9. So I think I have a pretty good understanding of the software, how it works and how to use it. I have Co-Pilot 11 installed on my laptop currently.

Having it (CoPilot) does not mean you know how to use it, nor does testing an old alpha or beta version lend you all knowing expertise about the software. You may just be incapable of grasping CoPilots full functionality.
But you are right about one thing, it does not matter.

That's very true.

...nor does testing an old alpha or beta version lend you all knowing expertise about the software.

Actually, it does. The basic core functionality and kernel hasn't changed at all since version 4.

You may just be incapable of grasping CoPilots full functionality.

Yeah, you're probably right.

But you are right about one thing, it does not matter.

Nope. Not one bit.

I knew there was another question I wanted to ask. I'm very close to making a Droid X purchase. Anyone know how well the excel apps work on it? I made a simple little rate planner spread sheet that lets me calculate information related to a load when dispatch calls with an offer. It's one of the main reasons for me moving to a smart phone if I can make the app work. I've seen a couple excel apps advertised, but not sure whether they are up to speed in the real world. Just wondering if anyone has any experience or advise in this department.

You can view Excell and word Docs on the free "Documents to Go" download but you'll have to get the pay version, "Documents to Go, Full Version Key" ($14.99)to edit them.

I have the EVO 4g. Works great, I love the phone. I have rooted the phone and downloaded WiFi hot spots so I can now also print to a WiFi printer emails, photos, spreadsheets from docs to go. Almost anything. The reason for rooting is now I can create a WiFi hot spot with out having to pay Sprint $30 a month for that privilege, plus the phone is much faster in the 3g networks as 4g isn't that widely available.
