Inter-state or inter-province navigation not possible on iGuidance?

I used Destinator 3 on my old WM2003 device, and found it very useful; the only drawback was that it was too slow to start up.

On my new Axim x51v which uses WM 5.0, I was trying out iGuidance 2.1.3, but I was kind of disappointed with the way it used maps. For example, in Destinator 3, I could route an address from Toronto to Montreal without any problem; however in iGuidance I cannot do that because the cities are on different map files (different provinces).

I then tried iGuidance's map loader to try to get the entire region instead of individual provinces, but the maximum region radius is only about 241km. I would need at least 500km.

Is there any way around this problem I am having? Does iGuidance 3 have a bigger region radius option?

By the way, Destinator 3 had the entire Canada as 1 map file, which was only about 200MB, and thus I could route to anywhere in Canada. I may just re-install my old Destinator 3 on my new Axim, although I heard there is some hacking involved to make it work in WM 5.0. Destinator 3 was an expensive buy, so at least it may still have some use left in it.
