I use both TomTom 5.1 and Mapop 4.7? on my iPAQ h2200 in Canada and N.E. USA. I generally prefer TomTom for the ease of use while driving. I have it mounted to my windshield with a RAM Mount. TomTom has BIG buttons and the info on screen is easy to read at a glance. What Mapop does better is POI. I like driving along with Mapop in an unknown area and clicking on a park or body of water. Mapop names them, and gives info like Phone numbers etc. If I had to choose just one, it'd be TomTom. In fact I think I'd even suggest people look at the dedicated hardware. While my nav system is on a PocketPC with no phone function, it's fine. I just think if I had a smartphone, I'd miss the bigger screen, and not be happy having to flip screens around to use the phone functionality.
