Great upgrade -- it now supports SD cards. This is one of the best values going in the Palm world. You just can't beat free. Free maps for the USofA that you can pack onto a card and take with you wherever you go. Downsides: The program is a bit slow at the higher scale levels. It takes a long time to draw 100 miles of maps, but I probably shouldn't be doing that. The place content seems to be more comprehensive, but they still need more. And if they'd just offer directions from one place to another, now that would be very cool.

Great Program! Need the ability added to load maps from external card and the ability to delete maps and other related program files. Need more to use it.

Works OK on my T5. It's a cool concept, and where else gives out free maps for the whole USA? Plus I can put my own favorite locaitons on the map. One issue that I see is that you can't run off of the SD card, so if you have a limited device (which I don't ... heh heh) and a lot of maps you might run out of space. The company support pages says that a fix is in the works.

A piece of crap. Not working on T5. Low resolution graphic. Tranfer of file to card takes forever!
