Need help deciding x50 520mhz or x50v

[andye39s]

Greetings, I'm deciding to buy either the X50 520mhz QVGA or the X50v. I ruled out the X51 because I want to stick with WM2003SE.

I've tried a VGA pocketpc before, I love the extra work space it provides and the awesome clarity, but I saw Tomtom 5 run on it and was quickly put off.

I saw Tomtom 5 running side by side an X30 624mhz QVGA and on X50v 624mhz VGA. The scrolling map was MUCH smoother on the X30 with its QVGA screen, whereas the X50v was very jerky and slow.

My main purpose of purchasing the X50 is for GPS (just bought a Holux 236 receiver). I prefer speed over quality of the display. I'm just wondering if there's a GPS software written to take advantage of the X50v's video processor. The way Tomtom 5 performed on the X50v compared to the X30 QVGA was not acceptable to me.

I suppose the QVGA version will always be faster than VGA version, unless the program is written to take advange of the Intel 2700. Are there any GPS programs that uses the Intel 2700 processor for better VGA performance?
