itinery planning is not on the go 1000 and you can only put in one stop on the travel via button.
And my reaction is, "Straighten out the in-dash situation first or else..."PNDs are on their way to the grave in developed markets like the US, and my reaction is "good riddance".

I'm sure that any of the major GPS manufacturers would love to get involved -- but is it the auto manufacturers' strategy? They're the ones that are loading these off-the-wall all-in-one nav units by unknown manufacturers into their vehicles.I think that's Tomtom's strategy.
Who manufactured your Honda nav unit, and who did you have to go to for map updates, and what did they charge?I have the opposite experience with my Honda Nav. I absolutely loved it.

Was it possible to load your own POI to it?
Sounds like TomTom wins in all 3 of those categories so far. I'm assuming your unit is similar to the W900 GPS/Audio combo unit (Alpine's list price, $1200).Made by Alpine. Honda sells map updates yearly, currently $180. They're the current Navteq maps as of the beginning of the year. No custom POI capability.
I still feel like Tomtom is doing the right thing in a dying market. They are focusing on new markets and the in-dash platform. They've recently launched/upgraded mapping in Argentina, South Africa, Singapore, India, and China. And they've released the Carminat LIVE, the Sony LIVE, Mazda/Sanyo LIVE, and are the mapping behind the tech-leading Ford nav in the US.
Apart from the nicely integrated in-your-dash 7" DIN design, what benefits does it offer over a somewhat higher end TomTom (or Garmin) and a decent separate audio unit (with a combined cost that is a great deal less than even the dealer cost on the Alpine unit)? I'm still not getting the price/benefit equation here.
