Well I've done it. I've bought Destinator 2

Well I've done it. I've bought Destinator 2 as its out now. £149 delivered for the UK only version is not bad. All that's left now before complete installation is the IR sensor, to be ordered next week & the Opus DC 2 DC ITX PSU - still waiting. The GPS fix to Auto start it is now available in the downloads section, more details of how to use it and how it was created are contained in the zip file. There are two versions one where it just starts Autoroute and the other were it loads a pre-defined map and settings created by your self - handy for customising the screen. Lastly version two of Mitokondria's 'Interface' is now available. It removes some of the bugs with the last skin. Oh and I got my new car today :)
Here is the Destinator 2 feature list how ever you can find a full review of the Pocket PC version here which has the same screens etc.
