Software Registration Snafu

Although slow and infrequently not accurate, I am very pleased with the unit. The maps are clear, voice is acceptable (not robotic), mounting is only by suction cup to windshield. But.....if you have SmartST Pro software, NAVMAN does not allow for software registration. For some unknown reason (most likely to force the consumer to purchase a upgrade) NAVMAN has pulled the registration process for the SmartST Pro software. The user must register the software, over the internet, before any maps will be displayed or for the software to work. Additionally, the original software had to be updated (this is what I had to do the first time I used the unit), this is also not supported on their site. The only way to use the unit is purchase a upgraded software package resulting in doubling of the cost. Although unit works as prescribed, I would not recommend purchasing the unit unless you just like spending additional monies to use it. FYI, I had tried to reregister my software after replacing the battery in my IPAQ H3870, unit now is not functional.
