Derek - I also have been using version 2.0 for some
time and LOVE it. (I only get to use it with my GPS
and laptop when my wife is not along for the trip,
though) :-)
Only problem is that it does not work properly with NT
or Windows 2000. I called a while back and they told
me that the new version does. Have you verified this?
BTW, if you press them, you should be able to get an
"upgrade" price of around $60.
