I like S&T. We use it both for planning and travelling. We have files that provide locations of low bridges, as well as Wal-Marts and Flying J's. You can put almost anything you want into S&T to customize it, if you search around the internet you can find files like these to use. My laptop will sit comfortably on the console of our truck, so the navigator does not have to have it on their lap. A friend has Co-pilot, and he can't seem to make it work right, and neither can I although I have not spent much time trying. I suspect that any of these programs require a bit of learning to get used to their quirks, and once you have one figured out, you likely will want to stick with it. Google maps are great, but I don't think they will take a GPS input. Google Earth will take a GPS input, but the detail is not good in some areas.

I just wish there was a mapping program as good as S&T for the Mac.
