...seems to be exactly 10 mph too pessimistic...
The GPS correctly reports speed, but I get a warning too early.
Tried looking in the manual in case I've missed a setting but didn't find anything. Did a search, too....
TIA |

You can always turn the warning off.
Lets face it you should know from the speed dial on your car if your going too fast or not!  |

The warning announces falsely in 40mph urban areas and remote single track roads with passing places.
The warning does not announce correctly in rural villages.
It seems to be a work in progress add on; not a dependable feature. |

I tend to agree!! 
Switch off the warnings as this also uses up some of the processing power and thus slows down the machine.
I've switched off several of the 'not so usefull' functions and the screen updates much faster.

Could you tell your configuration? What setting does affect to the screen updates?
I also don't keep the speed warning on, because in some areas it says the warning even if your speed is under 20 Km/h 8O
But at the highway it works better. It would be nice to be able to set how much you can drive over speed, before it gives the warning. I think that It gives it if you driver 1 Km/h over speed. |

|

I have my unit setup as follows:-
General settings -
on map settings -
I change these depending upon what I want to know but have a max of two ticked at anyone time
Alert settings -
voice prompts -
Just "drive carefully" so I know when the route has been calculated
Visual notification -
Symbols
I find that these are the main two screens that effect the speed of the unit and with more voice alerts or map info updaets the screen tends to update a lot slow and you can even pass a junction on a motoway before it tells you that you need to get off the junction you've just passed.
Hope this helps
Mikey
s this has a drastic effect |

Some performance tips for PN:
copy sd-card on harddive
in dosbox: format x: /fs:fat /a:16k
with storage card as drive x
copy everything back on card
incrase cache of sd-card:
Registry: \HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\
change dword CacheSize to dec 16384
(8mb cache per drive)
just for acer n35
add registry dword: \HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\FlashDrv\FATFS
EnableCache value 0
(disables cache for rom-storage and give 8mb ram back)
Always back up before editing registry and softreset after

I'm just a Beginner, like it says under my nick, so could you do a bit more easyer instruktions for N35. I didn't understand the whole thing.
Thanks.
I didn't see any performance diference when there was less options checked. But again, I'm using the D3 not PN. D3 mite be allways a bit slow |
