what's on GPS-INFO screen?
GPS status? Does the clock running, etc?

Trip timer is running, but I've got no bars as far the actual GPS status goes.

This evening, I left it running in the car while I grabbed some eats, and it acquired the satellites somewhere between time 12 minutes and 88 minutes...yeah, I know it's a pretty big window, but at least it found them. Everything was working smooth till I restarted to see if they would acquire any quicker and no joy...currently been running for 10 minutes with no acquisition.

I love this tool, but when i'm making a map and choose which area it should be i go around in google maps-window, but when i later preview the map it's not the same place...
Very hard to explain :S

ZSC - Thanks man. That's the best how-to I've read so far on this topic. I'll try it when I get home. Anyone have a pre-made map of Toronto Ontario Canada? Since we're in the topics of how to's, I've got a couple more questions:

1) How do I add POI's
2) Do I have to pre-enter my route before I put this in my psp?

There is GPS-INFO option in the in map menu (start button)
Apparently this is mostly a reception issue so here is some hint that may help:
1) set initlocation to 1
2) place the unit so it "sees" as much of open sky as possible
3) try not to move it during initial fix

BTW, you are posing in the wrong thread...

ZSC, thanks for sorting out most of the user's questions for me...
Whenever you create a step by step tutorial on any of the program's features, please mirror the post in the FAQ thread (in duscussion forum)

How do I know when the Map is complete?

[JoQ]

Quicksilversvt, in top bar to the right it says 35% 94161 out of 267624 now at zoom 1x (for me right now).
I've been making this map for about 3 hours

[Quicksilversvt]

I don't see that anywhere on mine. 0.4.8b

[JoQ]

I got 0.48b too (Build 1561)...
Here's a picture that displays it, can't be clearer (tho, i have noticed that in low resolutions you can't see the bar.
