Hope you can tell me if you are experiencing same problems
Confirmed that app crash is happening to all argentine users, I suspect the issue is a combination of memory errors AND maps (Proy.Mapear). Using any memory tool, or compiling with MapInstall doesn't improve it at all.

I'm going to try a different approach: compile just a smaller region of the map collection: e.g., only Buenos Aires city, because clearly, there is an error in the routing information that they have compiled on some area of the map (hopefully not all of it).

For those outside Arg., let me clarify: 'Proyecto Mapear' are the best available GPS-road routing maps in our country; however, it is a community-mantained project, so the files are built with non-official tools. It used to work flawlessly on older garmin software (like Mobile XT on Symbian or WM), but apparently, recent apps like StreetPilot have some issues with it.
Unfortunately, project mantainers won't hear anything from this community, because they consider SP on Android, illegal and against Garmin

Question to all argentinians: which version are you trying to run? on which phone, and with what firmware?

I'll post results on my attemps later.
