ok..finally got it installed but one of my favorite parts of the software is the top info bars that have speed, streets name, next street, compass heading are not there and I for the life of me can not find the setting to add them

I agree... there are a lot of "extras" missing from this version, but at least this verison will work on the Axim (unlike the previous beta version 3.78 that wouldn't see the GPS 10).

Being beta software, there will be a number of areas which will need improvement. Another thing I notice was is does not show the POI's. I set my map detail to MOST, and it still didn't show them.

I do like the 3D view, but Garmin still has a lot of work ahead of them before this software replaces my Que v2.90. This coming weekend I'm taking a trip from Boston down to Miami so it will give me chance to really put this new version through the paces.

I emailed on them regarding issues...I used for a small trip..got too many assertion failures

the lose of the info tab ..or at least the option to use them is not good...no 3D street names when just driving....

I had very small POI icons and prefer they not be there ..I generally turn them off I realize this is a nice feature to most people

I found the colors were terrible in daytime..cant really see the maps..I prefer the color scheme on 2.90 as well

I agree with all comments above, and I also have moved back to v2.90 as well.
