Hi Tim
Would it be possible when I choose a route it is retained so say if I turn the GPS of or the GPS crashes when I turn the unit back on it saves having to re-activate the route and the route re-loads.
In the last week I have done two foreign trips using SkyDemon Mobil. Charts loaded UK & France.
1/6/11 Shoreham EGKA to Guernsey EGJB.
Outbound to EGJB SkyDemon Mobil worked fine until they made us orbit on left base at EGJB. The unit then crashed?
Inbound to EGKA the unit worked flawlessly.
4/6/11 Shoreham EGKA to Le Toquet LFAT via LYD
Outbound and inbound the unit worked flawlessly.
I have also done 2 other local trips using SkyDemon without any problems.

Sadly, it's a cheapo Chinese unit. It does have (I believe) 128M of RAM so should be up to the job.
It appears the listing is no longer there, but the description was '5.0" HD CAR GPS MP4 Touch Built-in 4GB 128M RAM CE6.0'
I seem to remember I was trying to zoom and pan the display when it locked up. It might just have 'gone slow', but I gave up and rebooted the hardware.
I still think it'd be nice to have it (optionally, or perhaps only if the route wasn't completed) auto-reload the previous route. The first time I used it, I loaded the route for the return flight while sitting eating my lunch, expecting it still to be loaded when I turned the unit back on in the aircraft.
