So I was given an Acer P610 for chrismas, and its a nice little bit of kit.
But heres the problem - the specifications say it provided with Copilot
(not live) basic, but the feature list also lists features that come with
Copilot Premium - such as multi destinations/waypoints and custom POIs.

When I first fired it up, the splash screen said it was Premium, and all the
premium stuff was there (except safety cam alerts, oddly). I could add
multiple waypoints, do detours, full 7 digit postcodes etc. The problem was,
if the device was powered off when the software was active, it would crash
when turned back on and needed a hard reset.

So I checked the Acer website, and found an update which I duly ran, and it
cured the crashing problem. Dissapointingly, I am now missing quite a few
features. The spash screen just says Copilot 6, and I cant do waypoints,
advanced routing profiles, 7 digit postcodes etc.

Needless to say Im a bit miffed that the update removed several features
that are even claimed on the side of the box. Id really like camera
updates, but I cant even do them - Ive followed the ALK instructions but
the POI category doesnt appear. It even says integrating update when it
first starts, after copying the files.

So question is - can I revert back to the original software supplied? I have
a full set of discs marked Copilot Premium but Ive tried installing them
and doing a data transfer from the desktop software but with no luck. The
only thing I can think is to uninstall the Nav software through activesync
and try to reinstall, but I really dont want to risk that!

Does anyone have any thoughts, both from a technical and legal standpoint?
