IMO I think you need to be a bit more polite and show a bit less of the anger in the way you put questions on here otherwise you probably wont get many replies back.

Just a word of advice that all Smile

its up to you if you take it or not.

Why the hell did you buy a Medion PNA if you want to run TomTom? 8O

To run tomtom you need a PocketPC. The Medion 200S runs basic WinCE, and does not have the full compliment of PocketPC libraries.

And you're annoyed because it doesn't come with east european maps? Did you do your research first? If you had you would have known.

If you wanted TomTom then buy a ****ing tomtom!!!

For what it's worth, I prefer the instructions given from me Medion Navigator to the instructions from my friends TomTom. The TomTom software just seems to waffle more and bunches loads of instructions together. Navigator is clear and precise.

Chaps. thanks for the responses. It wasnt intended to sound rude, but as I said a single focal point for what seems like a hundred people all asking the same question.... and probably a hundred peopl sick of answering the same question.

As for wanting a Tom Tom, not necessarily so. I quite like the medion, I just need some how to get eastern European maps installed. SO , hacking seemed a good option and loading other software.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I agree with Hooloovoo and the others, you should have really checked before what was available for it! Rolling Eyes

We all live and learn I suppose!

There are some BIG people out there, aren't there? This is supposed to be a site that 'helps' not hinders. It doesn't matter how a post is written (to a point), and in this case, I didn't think that the post was written with any excessive largesse.

Anyway, these satnav units are difficult to use for novices, even if you are IT trained! Most of us can understand a certain amount of annoyance, and can ALSO understand when that spills over onto paper. Deal with it, and stop whinging back!

Deal with what?

Us "Big People" are only stating a fact!

If people ask a civil question in a civil manner you get a civil response back

If people ask a civil question in a rude and aggressive manner you will get a negative response back.

Its all about being polite to others, in otherwords expect back what you give out.

Yes this site is about helping others but have you looked around to see how much help is given, lots of help thats how much and its all free help so remember that.

Sadly we all normally have to do some research before we go ahead and do or buy something and in this case this obviously was not done, therfore what can we do to help if the maps are not available in this case.

Sadly the post question was asked in not a nice way thus we answered back stating so.

Frustration is a fact of life and we all have to get used to it.

I feel sorry that he cannot use his GPS in Eastern European countries but we cant help.

End of story.

I think that this forum is well controlled and well run the answers are VERY professional even if the Questions seem to be Vague
The Navs all come with handbooks and most of us can use them

The point of the forum is realy tips and tricks
and if you bother to look through the threads you will find most answers

An eye for an eye, eh? Where's your forbearance?

If you look through my previous posts you'll see that I have indeed been most helpful to those less knowledgeable than myself (and there can't be many!).

I haven't whinged at every slip of the tongue, in fact I just 'deal with it', as not everyone has the same level of upbringing (and it isn't their fault in most cases).

If a member doesn't exactly tick the 'polite' box enough for you, just don't bother answering them. You don't have to get on your soapbox. It really isn't worth it.

Twinfanman, all I am saying is politeness is free to all Smile

so be polite in asking questions and you will probably get a better response back.

I have forebearence (Big words never scare me by the way) but I also have a right to say how I feel if I see something that I feel is wrong and I did see something that I felt was wrong.

Twinfanman, may I politely suggest you read my first post properly before coming back at me and say I am one of the "BIG people" and asking where my forebearence is.

I will put it here for you to make it easier.
