Maybe so, but the sudden disappearance of many brands of satnavs (Binatone, Vertica, Medion to name a few) from Maplins and online shops a month or three after M$ killed WM5/6 without an apparent successor and their subsequent arrival as NIB items on eBay looked too well choreographed to be coincidence. Maybe I and my gliding friends and I noticed it more than the general public because we jail broke these WM5/6 PNAs to run specialised FOSS navigation programs on them. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
