1. POIs only display if you're not moving, anything over a crawl and they disappear.

2. According to the documentation if you select 'Detour' a new route should be calculated and the difference shown to you, at this point you should be given the choice to accept or reject the new route. On mine none of this happens, it just starts navigating on the new route.

3. I've had a couple of application crashes, unfortunately it's never been in a situation where I could note down the error dialog, I'll try and get the details next time.

I have had a few crashes now too, I thought they were lack of memory but there werent many other apps running last time it did it. Will try to note it down too.

I had a major lock-up this morning whilst using CoPilot which ended up with me having to do a hard-reset. Luckily I use Sprite Backup so recovery was fairly painless, except that the backup was prior to installing CoPilot. Have finally got CoPilot to re-install (after a few false starts) but it won't activate; it says the license is already in use on another computer. So, I'm waiting to hear back from ALK.

Is it a bug or by design that the POI Alert sound and the one you get if you take a wrong turning is the horrid cow bell "dong" sound?

OK got it to crash again (only a few minutes after the previous message)- It gives this message (as usual)

Alert!
Alloc 356.60kb, ProgM 412 Kb, StrgM 911.88kb

will contact ALK support

How about this one-

It is impossible to fill in the technical support form correctly on the european website and select Smartphone- you need to invent a load of Pocket PC details or the site wont accept your technical support request

AND it wont take an 11-digit phone number in the phone field

Daft thing is you cant read it- you only see the first few letters of the message at the top of the window.

I think it must be the Pocket PC code :^)

I have seen the message you mention, but I think I've seen others, will watch for it

Possibly, but knowing you have an error condition is not much use if you can't track where the error happened, the dialog title will at least get you to the routine where the error made it's presence known. (Which may not be where the error occurred) Stop it!

My half dozen crashes have all been 'out of memory' errors. I must take a pen & paper with me to capture them in full.

(Found out that the 'dong' is the default POI alert and re-routing sound).

I had a strange one last night.

When I leave work I can either go left or right, I went right, CoPilot decided I should go left, at the end of the road is a typical 4 exit roundabout, CoPilot instructed me to take the first exit rather than the 4th and the arrow on the display turned left and then crossed over itself to go back to the right.

That seems strange. I did wonder why I hardly ever saw the POIs! I agree with you; it would be useful to be able to toggle them on and off.

Safety camera POIs seem to be very hit and miss. On my route to work and back, sometimes they alert, sometimes they don't. I've tried different alerting distances but can't seem to get reliable, consistent warnings.

I've seen some oddity with POI alerting. On my route to the supermarket there are two speed cameras, one on each side of the road, I get a warning on my way to the supermarket but not on the way back, both cameras are in the database.
