Yeah, Mappoint is a problem in and of itself...there is a bug which has been around since 2004ish (according to various reports on the internet) that causes an error dialog to pop up and a debugger to run on quit...which causes problems even for developers.

I think Mappoint is poor for navigation software, but I'm not sure there are any better choices, because each package on the market has its own issues. There isn't any standout software package that is clearly superior to all others, which is weird, because there are multiple companies that do nothing but write GPS nav software. You'd think there'd be a "killer app" that would be the reference standard.
