Had a go at converting the speed camera database to work with it..
Not much luck, really. If you import into google maps you get only 200 POI on any one map. There's a 'trick' that'll get it to d ... |

I carry mine in my pocket... never leave it in the car, and use a little plastic cupholder thing on the dash rather than risk marks on the window.

The reason I say the voice recognition is a gimmick is because you have to enter TOWN, STREET and POSTCODE. What happens if you want to enter a city centre? Or a postcode? Or a POI? Personally I ... |

Just found a website which lists some features.
Can you confirm that 500 does not have text to speech, 700 and 900 do?
Are all screen sizes the same?
The 510 doesn't have TTS. The 520 does a ... |

It really is poor... I listened to it for about 10 seconds then went straight on the internet and ordered an MK6000 (which works OK, with a little tweaking).
I think the theory is sound but it suff ... |

I have the same problem. Same ogg files (from this site) I know work fine with the 910 fail completely on the 720. Mine gave up at redlight and won't do any of the specs.
I have 35 ov2 files but ... |

Nothing to stop you writing japanese in ANSI C - just use UTF8 or even Shift-JIS if you feel so inclined.
I don't think it would be trivial to change all the messages around though. |

That's great, but what it doesn't show is how it's spliced in to the TMC reciever itself.
I don't think it is - there's no mention of modifying the TT TMC receiver itself.. in fact he says he didn' ... |

From a trade point of view it does... TT can't legally stop sales of goods sold in the rest of the EU from being sold in the UK, because it's a single market. Once you sell in the EU you sell in *all ... |

Western and central europe is 1.6gb so you'll need at least a 2gb sd card to fit all that on. 128mb is only good for a small default setup. |
