Motorway = 70
Dual Carriageway = 60
A road = 50
B road = 30
Unclassified = 20
With the option to adjust each

Surely a good SD card will run faster than the internal memory, so why change back? |

My 720 has the habit of reading town names with Saint abbreviated like "St Leonards" as S T Leonards.
The 1005 says Close as in Brighton Close as close as in 'close the door.' Close must appear in ... |

I've not read about TT's camera processing
The user's information is flawed too, because of the lousy user interface. On the 1005 at least, the Is this camera still here? question disappears as soo ... |

this is actually a right pain, as it means you have to put tomtom on the SD and override the internal disk.
Probably worth doing anyway. I had to because of occasional memory errors on my refurb TT7 ... |

Unless there's been a change, I think you'll also find that TT's average speed is ... |
