After playing with the "demo" a while, I'd agree it's pretty neat but
also frustrating. It's a lot more like a "beta" than a polished
program, but it is fun.
I too had to re-install a few times to get it to work.
I've not been able to run it for more than 10 minutes or so before it
bombs for one reason or another. For example, last time it hung up
trying to print.
question - after buying it, is the GPS interface stuff another extra
cost ?? I'ts not clear from their website.
