I don't know about XCSoar, but with WinPilot, the terrain data are
used to calculate final glides, and knowing there is a mountain
between your goal and you can make lots of difference! So I wouldn't
advise to turn the terrain data off. What I do is changing the
settings so that every relief below say 2000 ft doesn't show up on the
screen. I still get roads and streams. If XCSoar can do the same, I
suggest you experiment with the settings for relief.

In the case of See You Mobile, turning off the terrain map display
does not turn off the terrain data so AGL heights and terrain
collision alerts are still active.



Pilots with 4700s that have intermittent hang ups could consider using
the unofficial Windows Mobile 6. See:

and also discussion on the See You Mobile forum.

It runs perfectly on my 4700 and has never hung at all but I have
another 4700 still on WM5 and there is no difference in speed between
them contrary to what I had seen claimed. Definitely back up your
files and installations off the main memory before updating and be
aware that WM6 does not include a backup and restore utility so you
cannot backup your files in WM5 and then restore in WM6 (as I had
assumed you could before I did it)
