I tried out 4.37 today going someplace with my gps unit. I like it, but at least on my axim the default voice is totally unintelligible over the X5 built-in speaker over normal background noise in my vehicle (and yes the radio is off)(I just plain don't hear low frequencies very well, I prefer higher pitches--as in female voices). I found some replacement female voice files on gpspassion.com but I can't seem to make them work. The instructions say to put it in the mapopolis folder which I've done over and over and still no go. I think they've really made a number of improvements and it's overall faster and more responsive too, now if I can just get past the voice file issue I'm a happy camper. (yeah I know I can probably fix this by buying one of those doodads that transmits over the stereo but that won't help me when I'm using it handheld).
