Anyone know what version of Navteq GPS works with the HP hw6515? I have tried loading 1.2.2703NA and it does not format for the screen. Is there another special version for the 6515?

The new 2.0.2721NA release of Navteq On Board is failing in more than just your model of Ipaq. Navteq has reported problems on numerous handhelds, including my hx2415. I've been working with them for 3 weeks, but still no fix. You could use the old 1.1.2542 software, but the maps are out of date.

They claim it was their attempt to make the software compatible with the new 5.0 O/S that has caused the problem. I asked if they could reuse the old software and load the new maps, but they refuse to explore that option. Seems like they would rather deliver non-functional sofware than take a step back in their O/S support.

I would urge anyone purchasing new navigation software or upgrading their maps to avoid Navteq for the time being. As usual, their website gives no indication of a problem when you purchase the software.
