|
|
Dear All
Forgive a newbie question please, but I have recently purchased my first GPS system and its the TomTom navigator 5 running on an iPaq 1710.
Maybe its a limitation in performance on my ipaq but sometimes when approaching road features (particualrly roundabouts) I find the voice synthesis is particularly slow in giving me directions -
in
300
yards
take the 2nd exit
You're almost on the roundabout before you know where you're supposed to be going! Anyone have similar experiences?
Cheers
Andrew |

Is the map redraw jerky?
If so, have you enabled a lot of POI's?
Are you using V5 or V5.1? _________________ Richard

Are you running any other applicatons? PPC does not by default close applications when you "close them" it just hides them and they can end up using a lot of memory. With the 1710 you really need to dedicate the whole processor to TT to get the best out of it.
Other things to try that made a big difference to me - limit the number of categories of POI warnings you have set. As well as the number of visible POIs, the number of POI categories that trigger warnings makes a difference. For example, my 1710 is fine with all the UK speed cameras set up as categories for Gatso, MObile, Temporary etc - if I use more POI categories to get the different speeds, the thing slows to a crawl even though the number of POIs is the same.
Lastly, defragmenting your memory card will make TT run much smoother - using a card reader, copy the files fro mthe card to a folder on a computer, then reform the card, and then copy the files back again. |
