My idea is to have a thread/laundry list of GPS software and problems you've encountered. If this list builds up large enough, it will give a potential purchaser an idea of the shortcomings of each. Don't defend your problems with praise or make a comment abnout another persons post - this is just a list of what you feel you've encountered as problems with your GPS software.


OCN5 running on X51v

no promise/idea of future updates
odd u-turn requests

And one-time only probelms (at least only once so far)

wanted me to take a left on a street that didn't exist
took me off the right exit but the wrong direction, and was convinced the restaurant I was looking for was on the other side of the highway

How is one to determine when the problem is software related, when it is hardware related and when it is map data related? In order for this thread to be meaningful, it would have to be restricted to "using THIS receiver, with THIS particular device, with THIS other software installed and THIS SD/CF card with THIS ROM release, I had THESE issues with THIS software." Otherwise the thread will have misleading data.

For example, if I have a Dell X5, and if I have the older ROM and if I have installed the audio "fix" from a couple of years ago, and if I'm using iGuidance or any of the variants (Routis, Arkon, Dell, etc) then I will have a problem with voice prompts not playing properly. But the problem is not with iGuidance, it's with the Dell Audio fix.
