I'd like to enter the giveaway context for OCN8.  Thanks.

contest entry!  :)

so which cities get 3D data?

Thanks for the contest!!

Use OSN a few years as a travel mobile GPS and happy with it ! Expect more fun from OSN 8 !

Hope this version runs smooth and won't be slowed down on the AT&T Tilt.

OCN8 aka IGO8 appears to be one of the best GPS navigation software with 3D buildings display.  Hope that I will get it through this promotion.

This looks like a very good GPS program. Good luck to everyone.

The 3d looks amazing.  i'd like to enter the contest.

Contest entry.  Thank you!

I'm also really curious (without yet having read the details) if this will run on my Windows Mobile 6.1 phone.

3D Looks great. But how is other functions?

Thanks for the contest!!!!

I'm looking forward to checking out the 3d software

I have an earlier release and am looking forward to the new features offered with this version.

I ma looking forward to getting the OCN 8!  I can't wait.

Nice.timimg, I was just using my old version of OCN today and there were several new roads. I defintely need a map update

Love OCN.  Looking forward to getting the new version.

I wonder if I could copy the files from the OCN card to my 8GB card and have it all work...

OCN is an excellent piece of navigation software and i'd like to get my hands on one.

I am happy with the GM720 unit i purchased from you and will soon be ordering software and hardware for other use. thanks

The 3D view on this looks fantastic, addition of text-to-speech is great too.

I'd love to win one of these.

PS. It's my bday today and this would make a great present. ;-)

3d sounds intresting ald looks great

I started using iNav primarily because you could select which maps you could store on your SD card thereby reducing it's footprint.  I however was never fond of the interface.  I've since upgraded to the latest version, which no longer gives you the option to select which maps you need.  And the interface hasn't really changed all that much. OCN 8 definitely seems to have a  better interface, as long as the interface doesn't impede performance, it maybe a winner. Looking forward to seeing more...

I haven't used this system before, but I'm always interested in trying out new methods of tracking!

I own OCN6 and absolutely LOVE it - sure would be nice to win this!

Looks like a fantastic new version!!

Here's hoping to win 1!

Great product. Hoping to win one!

Wow.. that looks awesome :)

Can't wait to try it out.  Would love winning it though!

Yes, looks great. I'll be happy to win one.

still using ocn5 and looking forward the extra POIs.  Looking forward to OCN8 with Europe too.

I'd like to have one

It looks very good.

Please enter me in the drawing!

Sign me up! This looks like a great addition to my WM6 phone. Will it work with the Verizon VX6800 built-in GPS or do I need to use my BT puck?

Looks nice,  can't wait to try this on my good old Axim

Screenshots look great!  Look forward to upgrading my 6.0 version on my ATT Tilt!

I've been interested in giving OCN a try. Winning it would be sweet.  Sign me up!

sign me up! This should work great on my new HTC Diamond Pro!

Love the images compared to the TT

hmmm...works only on the original 2 GB SD card? So you have to swap SD cards every time you need to use navigation? Not sure how that works for some people, but that would NOT work for me.

In response to jeffx: The giveaway is only for 2GB card but you may purchase the 4GB or 8GB microSDHC versions.

This way to the category page of OCN 8 and you will find all 3 versions there: www.buygpsnow.com/oncourse-navigator_64.aspx 

(FYI: Larger memory cards have the same maps and program features but they do have more free space.)

@ hardija said: "Sign me up! This looks like a great addition to my WM6 phone. Will it work with the Verizon VX6800 built-in GPS or do I need to use my BT puck?"

Answer: Yes, it works well on VX6800 and the built-in GPS receiver.

Fantastic.  Wish I could use a larger card with my X51v but new maps will be nice,  I'm still using OCN5

This is soo cool. Could it work with 64MB ram without TTS?  And what PDAs have 128mb RAM???

How responsive is the software -- does it run 'sticky' slow in the Pocket PC?  Destinator PN was a fairly responsive software.

Yep... Just another contest entry...

@Nehemiah: OCN 8 map updates is very smooth, especially running on Pocket PC / PDA Phone with 50 MB of free space (minimum is 25MB)

Looks nice. Hope to win one:-).

Looks awesome!!!

The 3D view looks fantastic.  But I could use the lane guidance!

I bought the OCN6 4GB microcard and can't wait to use it. Unfortunately, at the time I received the OCN6, my PDA mfg has not updated the ROM to support the SDHC.  So I changed to TomTom Navigator!  I have to say, I am pretty disappointed with the software. Comparing it to Mapopolis, which is not extinct, TTS is no where near the capacity.  Except for the 3D graphics, the program lacks many common POI's such as Home Depot, Office Depot, etc. Now that I have the ROM update for my PDA, I am saving money for the 8GB microcard version... sound very appealing to me!

I've been using TomTom Navigator 6 for the last year then Navigator 5 before that and I'm getting disappointed that TomTom is not supporting this product anymore so I figured it was time for a change.  So I really hope this compares.   I just ordered my 2 GB version.  

What do you guys think comparing this to TomTom Navigator 6?

Used OCN5 and 6 and looking forward for this upgrade.

Nice GPS s/w, nice offer...

very good graphics, navigation sometimes goes crazy,  follow your predetermined route.

Wow the 3D aspect looks awesome! Winning one would be fantastic!  

I had originally selected OCN when I was looking for a GPS navigation program for my PocketPC, but it was not available at that time. I ended up purchasing iGuidance, and I am very happy with this product (most of the time). I would be interested in a comparison between the two. I am NOT interested in eye candy -- I never use the 3D mode and prefer a simple 2D map. Routing and accuracy are more important to me, although I also have come to depend on TTS. The TTS in iGuidance is sometimes amusing (it seems to have problems with Spanish, and we have a lot of that in Southern California). It would be interesting to know how good the OCN TTS is.

I am a Iguidance V 4 user, hoever OCN 8 loos fantastic. Would love to have it soon

How do you enter the contest, and when does it end?

Software looks nice!  :)

I want it!

I've used OCN on a Dell Axim since ... Version 4, I think.  Recently bought a Garmin Nuvi just to get a brighter screen display, but find I really miss the *depth* of the OCN product, especially the ability to construct and optimize routes with many waypoints, store POIs in user-created folders, etc.  Very much looking forward to OCN8.  Back to momma.

Looks good, I like it

I used this version, it's really cool.

Hi. I'm entering the contest!

I have a question though:

I've read that some builds of IGO 8 will not launch you use HTC home. The newest build of IGO 8 has resolved this issue. Can we expect the current build of OCN 8 to work as well?

Thanks! Hope to win!!!

Great, I need to replace my old TomTom5 and OCN 8 looks like it may be a good choice.  Of course if I win one of the 3 giveaways, that would be even better!

This looks great!  Will be interested to see if it works on a Axim x50v.  Currently use iGuidance v4.0.  Their PDA version is taking forever.

I would love to sign up for the contest! Another iGuidance 4.0 user here, and starting to get tired of the worsening performance. Would very much like to use OCN 8 and report on the performance for my Axim X50. Thanks for the opportunity!

I feel lucky !

WIll use on Axim X51V

I have been using Mapopolis for a few years now, this would be a nice upgrade since Mapopolis is now no longer around!!

I have been an OnCourse 6 user for a couple of years and, before that, a Destinator 3 user.  I think the new OnCourse 8 has much promise to which I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy.

Since I have a Dell Axim x51v, I would upgrade it to 128mb of ram as well using http://www.pocketpctechs.com so that I could use the text to speech features.  I am a gadget geek at heart and would use every feature this gps has to offer.

Been an OnCourse user over the past few versions. Would like an opportunity towin since version upgrades weren't offered this time.

Looks pretty good! I'd love to win it! ;)

I can't wait to see how OCN8 with TTS works on my Ipaq 211

I've been waiting for this one to come out and have been on vacation, so when I came home and got an update from GPSNOW, I was excited!!!

I have used OCN6, looking forward to OCN8!
