I've got Version 6 working, a bit of a pain to get a version of it that works without the problems mentioned elsewhere in the site. Also have to watch for the GPS set up via bluetooth, its not totally intuative on the M600. Other than that, it works well and does not crash like V5.21 does on my Axim

Then get TomTom. I have v5.21 and it works fine.

Yes. There's no way to connect a wired GPS.

I recently did quite lot of research and found what I needed. A fairly basic GPS route finder system, that does, contrarary to the manufacturers website, 7 figure postcode searches, with updatable POI speed camera database (as long as you're prepared to fiddle with the CSV files with the camera info in).
I bought Route66 Navigator 7 for PPC (UK/Ireland) from Expansys. The manufacturers guff doesnt actually state that it works with WM5 but it does. I bought this because it did what I want and it was pretty cheap. The speed camera database also doesnt seem to be mentioned, but loaded onto the PPC with the rest of the software. I had no installation problems, the hardest part was waiting for the software to load the maps onto my SD card. I would recommend quite a fast card speed and make sure theres plenty of space as UK maps take up about 250ish Mb.
I got a Sirfstar III blue tooth GPS receiver from here

I paid £60 a couple of months ago and nows its £45 ! Gutted. This also works a treat. Paired up no problem. An article i read helped with this which is linked here; http://www.bbits.co.uk/blog/archive/...2/28/7210.aspx
I used it to travel to central London with my family and managed to get there pretty much stress free. Signals were clear and with plenty of notice, lots of POI available, like pubs, hotels, etc. I found a web site that will let you download POI, the link is here somewhere;

Although it does say TomTom in the header there lots of other stuff here as well. Another good site for Route66 queries is here;

Hope this helps. im not on commision I promise you. Thought I would give something back maybe of use, after frequenting this forum on numerous occasions.
