As for the "fairness" aspect of the free-membership cutoff: no, it isn't fair, but that's life. There are much more serious examples of this sort of unfairness: like final-salary pension schemes bein ... |

That's strange. For me, this was one of the improvements in TT5. TT3 immediately bombed out if it couldn't talk to the Clip-On, so I had to have it handy whenever I wanted to browse the map. TT5 ru ... |

Can you open up the tab anyhow? I did, and it didn't seem to matter, I could find the overlays.

If you've upgraded TT5 to 5.1, you probably won't have any problems with the latest CheckPOInt (other than a flickering distance-to-camera display bar).

...Interesting.
The village of Dundrod appears to be missing from the Garmin map, but there IS a "Dundrod Road" coming up from Lisburn to the A26/A52 roundabout. And the villages of Aghalee and Ag ... |

I think it worked for some PDA's and not others. 3.07 didn't fix it on my HP Ipaq 4160. |
