TomTom 5 or Navigon 2005

| I have tried both products working on my friends unit. Overall, Navigon
2005 runs incredibly slow with large regional map, the UI seems to be
rather awkward and counter-intuitive. TomTom runs a lot faster and has
intuitive UI, but the GPS device selection(bluetooth,
non-TomTom) is
flawed as I have to select it everytime I start the application.
Selecting some POI on TomTom crashes it all the time (don't know how to
fix this). Searching for a POI on Navigon is a pain as you are required
to know the exact city where your POI is located before it will start
searching.
Price wise, Navigon 2005 seems to be a lot more expensive as there are
no option to activate the Northeast USA map except to purchase it
separately. My question is, does any of them do cross-maps navigation?
If so, how? Or do I simply have to activate the Northeast USA map for
TomTom5?

disabling "informations on directions" (sorry, I only know the italian
software) it became faster. Not as tomtom, but it is quite good

already tried to install TT 5.1? I've read that it solves many problems
