I still use Garmin nRoute daily as the main navigation program on my notebook.
It operates perfectly with any mapset I have thrown at it and I have a lot.BlueCharts, City Navigator, Topo etc.
Garmin MobilePC can not compete.
I do not bother using any of my Garmin GPS units as the input source.
This combination works perfectly all day long:
Notebook (Windows XP, 7 and 8 tomorrow (I hope)). + GPSGate + $2 Bluetooth USB dongle + $25 Bluetooth GPS.
