What is a cab file?
Saturday, September 30th, 2006A cab (cabinet) file is the native install format for Pocket PC and Win CE devices. If you have a cab file you don t need a PC to install files. Instead you can just copy the file to the device and use file explorer to find it. Tapping on it will execute the installation. Some web sites, including ours, provide cab files as an alternative for installing programs. The primary site for cab file listings is freecabs (link: www.freecabs.de/ ). If your PDA is connected to the Internet you can browse to this site using Pocket IE or other browser on PDA itself and download files directly to be installed on your unit.

Do POI’s have phone numbers?
Yes, they do but you might not see them. The Information box that appears when you tap a POI is limited to 3 lines of data. The first line is the name of the location and must be shown but the next two lines are configurable. Use the command “Tools > Settings > Map features” to select the features to be displayed on the maps. The Pop-up Information Box includes 3 entries, Show Coordinates, Show City Name, and Show Speed Data. Turn off either Show Coordinates or Show City name to make the phone number show up in the Information box. Speed Data shows up when you tap a road and indicates the speed range for the road that is used by the router to figure out the fastest route.
