Which GPS software is the best. I was looking for something that does route
recalculation if you get lost and supports NMEA. From what I can tell the
best program is co-pilot 2000, but doesn't seem like it supports NMEA
recivers (please tell me I'm wrong). Does Street Atlas or SteetFinder
Deluxe do route recalculation?

More importantly is the ability for the newer units to track these
satellites simultaneously in parallel (12 at a time--which is all that is
visible at any given time), rather than multiplexing serially through a
limited number of others.
My Garmin GPS III has been invaluable with all the travelling I
do, and hooked to my TP with Street Atlas USA, it has saved my bacon a
number of times.
