It appears the Bluetooth connection gets lost and cannot be re-established via the Bluetooth Manager. It is necessary to soft reset the Axim, then the Bluetooth connection can be re-established. I noticed the same behaviour with the latest Mapopolis which I am evaluating. Is this normal, or do I have a setup problem?
I noticed the same thing. I think the Axim requires a correct sequence to iniitate/kill the Destinator. If you don't follow the sequence all bets are off on normal operation. To start: setup BT first and then load Destinator. To quit: Kill Destinator first and then BT.

I've tried the Mapopolis demo and it didn't work in landscape. Their website mentioned they support landscape mode in selected operating systems.
