Ok, I have not used my axim x50v in over a year and a half. I just turned it on and it still works. Im not sure if my 4GB Micro Drive still works though… But hey that’s ok.

I would like to get as up to date as possible, Right now the ROM version is A05 (stock), ill look to see if there is any updates to this.
Well I want to use this old gal as a GPS. And right now that’s basically it. I have a Bluetooth GPS that works great, I just need to get the software. Since I haven’t used my dell in a bit, im not sure what it can handle. I would like a map program that will give turn by turn directions and actually say the street names. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Or any tips what so ever?

Also Should I even try to upgrade to WM6? I am only going to be using this as a GPS and I have a phone that I use with WM6.1 Its nice to see that the PDA that got me started with PDA’s is still kickin!!!

PS. Where the heck can I get a WM5 Upgrade Disk? I want to put GarmanXT on my PDA and well dell doesnt sell the disc any more. Is there a download now?
