Yeah, this software is not that stable yet. I also encounter 1 problem while playing with the software. I was sitting outside with clear sky above, after 3-4 min having very good satellite reception, suddenly GMXT complain about loss of satellite signal. I go & check GPS signal screen & found out that >10 satellite having good reception. :-? :-?

One minus point: They appear to have removed the "North pointer" from the viewing map. The only place still with the pointer is the Turn Preview.

Still buggy for real use. Have to wait for a stable release. Reverting to previous version... :cry:

When I first installed v5.00.10w into my WM phone as an upgrade (from v4.20.50w) I ran into problems - error message ...low resources, etc, or to that effect. I then removed GMXT and all related files from my device and did a fresh installation of v5.00.10w, including the base map and the help files. Installation was successful and so far after 2 days of use, I have no problems with v5.00.10w.

I think the base and help file are the same as before. I don't have any issue with my Dell X51V so far... \:D/
