When did 5.0.4 come out? I downloaded and just finished my free 7-day trial last week directly from Garmin and it was only 5.0.2.

I found this version (5.0.2) had issues with overwritting addresses in my contacts list (stripping suite numbers and the last three digits of the Canadian postal code), took unusual routing through the city, and was missing streets near my hourse. When I complained to Garmin, they suggested that I reenter all 500+ of my contacts with the suite numbers in Address line 2 (as Garmin will ignore this line and not rewrite it) and have recorded the postal code problem to be fixed in a future version. I am wondering if this new version 5.0.4 fixes these errors but now my 7-day trial has expired and I cannot test this.

Overall, I found Google Maps 2.3.2 much better as it could use addresses directly from my contact list without the need to move the suite numbers to address line 2, did not change the postal codes, had more recent maps including the missing ones near my house, and uses more direct routing through the city. This main disadvantages I find with GoogleMaps is it does not recalculate the route if I stray too far from it and I have to manually advance the turn-by-turn directions.
