CP 5 Lockup's

XDA,
Like you, I'm running PocketPC 2003 - so probably not OS related.
I do have both the application and the mapping installed on an SD card, so am interested in your comment that this has caused problems in the past. The card is a Kingston card, so not some obscure OEM type - and has not given problems with any other applications.

I've still not had a response from ALK, and have now (yesterday) submitted another support request with additional detail - no acknowledgement of that one either yet!

Cheers
Dave

Hi,

I have noticed lost memory on my ipaq 5555 (WM2003) with the following process:

Note memory settings
Launch Co-Pilot (Without Bluetooth on)
Go straight to planning mode.
Plan a trip
Go back plan totally different trip (Using the addres locator - so that the city, road dB's have to be loaded)
Exit Co-pilot
Check memory settings.

Dependant on the length of my trip i always loose a few MB's.

I've had a response from ALK now, saying that this issue is being looked into by 2nd line support in the US. I've provided a link to this tread back to ALK, so any info provided here may be of help...
Cheers

Well I can report the following after testing on my Ipaq 5550 with version 5.0.1.22 of CP5.

Following a reset the memory stats where as follows:

Storage allocated 63.31 in use6.12
Program allocated63.32 in use 8.38

Starting CP5 makes no difference to storage memory, the following represnts the "in use" stats for Program memory after repeatedly starting and stopping CP5 Cleanly.

8.38
13.00
8.81
13.09
8.91
13.13
8.95
13.13
8.95
13.14
8.95
13.14
8.95
13.14
8.95

following a soft rset the setting returned to 8.38.

What ever is causing the memory leak clearly stabilised after 5 start/stop cycles. It may not infact be CP5 it could be some other services that CP5 is using such as Bluetooth Manager or a Serial port device or SD card driver. This may explain why everyone is not suffering the same fate. Have those of you suffering the problems ensured you are using the latest firmware/drivers for your PPC?

I hope this helps!

Regards BigH.

I forgot to mention that I am using PPC 2003 1.10.10 with all latest drivers from HP.

Just want to add to this thread:

Running CPL5 on Mitac 168 where I've moved most progs to run from the SD card which leaves about 32Mb free on the Mitac for running programs.

I always do a soft reset before running CPL5 but it nearly always locks up after about 3 or 4 re-routes (ie. if I ignore the calculate route). I get the same problem regardless of which of my 3 SD cards I use (128Mb Kingston, 512Mb Kingston, 1Gb Lexar).

And of course there's the problem POIs only being announced when CPL5 feels in the mood to do so.

I bought CPL5 after the glowing reviews on here, but I now wonder about the wisdom of my purchase.

I haven't had problems on the Mitac Mio's I have here, they've all been behaving themselves quite nicely. The only time I have had a problem is if I've swicthed the Mitac off (or allowed it to switch off under power settings) then try to switch it on and navigate. This seems to cause memory issues.

Other than that, I fairly religiously with all the testing I do soft reset the PPC before using the next app and doing this and having a min of 15mb free in program memory cures 90% of my memory malloc issues.

I'm not sure whether this is best for the Live thread or this lockups thread. I've been using CoPilot 5 fine for a few months and am quite happy with it apart from it's constant desire to route me through the middle of London instead of around the North Circular or M25.
I've just go a bluetooth mobile (Nokia 6230) and after installing the bluetooth security patch to my HP IPAQ 2210 have managed to pair them together.
I've tried setting up the Live service and have found that CoPilot locks up every time after establishing the Live connection. I get the green circle thing but the screen is just dead while it works out the route and never recovers. By reseting the PPC and eventually managing to turn off the live connection I find I can't use CoPilot at all (something must be corrupted and it always locks up) unless I uninstall and reinstall CoPilot again. As soon as I try to set up Live again I'm all locked up again.
Any ideas?
