What changes are there for version 2.1.3? I would imagine that the maps are updated, but what about functionality.

Nothing of major significance.

Only things that are new have NEW beside them. None of the NEW things really do anything to improve the functionality of the program. And it says canadian maps are new but i DOUBT they upgraded the already improved maps of 2.12

Well, the POI thing looks pretty neat, and that they are updated. The POIs in my GFs Lexus are amazing. Address, phone, and just click it and bam, click start and you are navigating to it.

I have 2.1.1, wish I could upgrade, but I don't think I can.

the POI's havent been updated. Not as far as i can tell and i live in Washington DC's Metro area.

Version 2.1.3 is not really an "update" if you own 2.1.2 or 2.1.1. There are just one or two bug fixes, nothing significant for most of us. There is no new map and/or POI data. (The list at the beginning of the thread refers to 2.1.1 I believe.)

(2.1.3 adds WM5 support for PDA users)
