Co Pilot Vs Tomtom

Currently for my satnav needs i use a Sony Ericsson M600 with Tomtom 6 loaded on. Now this works perfectly fine for what i need it for and should do for a long time yet but its getting a bit annoying swapping phones when i need satnav.
So i'm looking at getting Co Pilot 8 for my HTC Magic.
Anyone gone from the Tomtom to Co pilot and found any problems?

I suggest to try sygic mobile if you can, its brilliant.

Ive got CoPilot for my Hero but much prefered TTN6 on my previous phone. For some unknown reason I cant input house numbers in CoPilot just the road which isnt a big problem but is a bit of a pain as you dont know what end of the road the house you are looking for is.

Ouch thats quite poor, that's a usefull feature on Tomtom, when some roads are quite long!

Will take a look into sygic mobile

not sure its worth me spending £50 on it though.

i have CoPilot on my Hero and i can enter house numbers just fine... although i to had tomtom on my xda orbit2 previously and i have to say i did prefer it over copilot but for 25 quid you cant really complain

Just checked and you are right, it does take house numbers, its just the only two times I used it in anger, it only had the road and no house numbers probably because they were relatively new roads.
