 |

The medion Nav v5.1 says it displays the current speed of travel, however i cant see how to turn this on.
I thought i saw a screen shot of the speed in a speed limit circle in the top left of the screen.. any ideas ? |

My Navigon 5.2 software does display the circle as you discribe, but 2 things when using Navigon software, to get at the settings menu for that it has to be set on the first settings menu to Extended user, then I get additional menus:
Map information
Route information
Signpost information
Speed limit - this is the menu that i use to set the speed Warning icon
Volume
Representation
Auto Mode
Routing options
Logbook
Keypad
Itinerary
Format
GPS
TMC
Home address
Handsfree options

mmm my 5.1 does not have the options:
Signpost information
Speed limit - this is the menu that i use to set the speed Warning
I have set to extended
My unit is now a MEDION MDPNA250 / MD96800
Would the unit work on 5.2 and is it available as an update
Anyone else got a medion with the options above showing ?
On my old unit with 4.75 it used to show the speed under the est. time of arrival. This one doesnt and i would prefer the red circle speed |

Medion Navigator doesn't have the speed limit and sign post display for some reason. It doesn't appear to be a full version of Navigon Navigator.

There is no 5.2 update yet. Version 5.2 seems to only be available for mobile phones at the moment.

I'm running 5.1 having upgraded from 4.75. Mine still shows the current speed at the bottom right, same as version 4.75.
The red circle (if it were available) shows the current speed limit, not your actual speed, so you couldn't have your current speed showing in a red circle anyway. |

In my opinion it is, yes.
The speedo must never under-read, but is allowed to read up to 10% over. So most read a little high.
When I'm doing 70mph on the motorway, the GPS says I'm only doing 65. The speedo has some calibration factor to convert wheel-speed into road-speed, whereas the GPS measures exactly how far you have travelled in the last second to calculate your speed. Of course even that reading is subject to GPS error and timing error, but I believe that would be less than the error in your speedo calibration. |
