See your current location, trace your route and calculate the distance between any two points on any digitized map. With the ability to set up to 3 reference points for map calibration, Navio will accurately show your position on the map. A great feature for travelling, hiking, geocaching, golfing, sailing and much more."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20050421-Navio.gif" /><br /><br />A bit of a silent update this was, but Navio 3 has been updated and is packed with a whole bundle of new features.

It looks good, but only offering a 5 minute trial?????? :huh:

That's not *quite* enough time to evaluate it. :?

Well that's 5 minutes of GPS connection at a time. It's not 5 minutes in total and forever. You can launch Navio, play around all the screens and then press Start to connect to the GPS. Then you'll get 5 minutes. With a couple of taps you can reset the 5 minutes (press close icon, tap on Navio Today plugin to relaunch).

What kind of evaluation period would you suggest?

Having a long term evaluation period of for example 2 weeks can be done in two ways :

- saving a reg key under the main Navio reg tree - too easy to delete with any registry editor
- saving a key somewhere hidden in the registry - I find this very sneaky. If someone doesnt like Navio they'll keep having some wasted bytes on their device. Shame on developers that do this.
