Microsoft Streets and Trips 2005 (Pocket), need help please.

Hi, I have installed the pocket version of Microsoft Streets and trips 2005 on my Windows Mobile 5 iPaq, everything works just fine, but is it me, or the software is... empty? I mean, it does not show the speed, no distance, no tracks, and you cant even make a path/destination. So I am wondering if that is normal, or I need to download some plug ins, if they exist.

Thank you

*A little correction, it DOES show the speed, but no distance, path, or any other normal GPS functions

I use an HP iPaq hx 2490b, and yes, I have used other GPS software, and they all work perfectly, I have them running at full capacity, but the problem with them is that I dont find the maps for them, because they are not so known. And the Microsoft one is the only one that actually shows me on a map. But all I can do is see my speed, find an address, and move the map.
Oh, and if thats of any importance, I use the Microsoft (Pharos)GPS-500 with a Pharos CF adaptor...
