I was looking forward to this function: but I can't see any mention in the 8410 manual, does anybody know if it is an implicit feature of the "flagship model"? |

Hmm ... interesting, especially as I sometimes use it to help my failing hearing. Thanks for that cautionary note Jonnyhifi I can't find anything either. I thought that with the 8110/8310, which does have it, there was a warning on the website that it was not legal in all countries. I can't find it though, and could be wrong - it's certainly mentioned in the User Guide.
I'm a little surprised if it has been dropped, as it's not shown as illegal in Germany, and obviously that country determines a lot of the usefulness of some of the facilities. For example, in the Live services, UK parking is not yet useful, as far as I can see.
I wonder if it's been dropped to enable the new features to be included, but can't see why.
So it seems that we have to double-check the availability ofwhat we use currently, AND weigh up the actual benefits of the Live services for the UK in deciding when to get it. (Be Aware ) _________________ David

Best to wait until the comparison data is available on the web. However I'm certain I saw the FM transmitter feature mentioned on Amazon (who now list the 8450 correctly... however only appears if you search for the 8410).
From Amazon
"Your personal entertainment system: The NAVIGON 8410 includes a Digital Photo Album, FM Radio transmitter and integrated multimedia Player (DVB-T ready) so you can watch videos stored on SD cards or TV via the optional DVB-T module. It also boasts a sensitive genuine glass surface, which reacts to the slightest touch from fingertips similar to the Apple® iPhone®."
So hopefully Amazon hasn't got it wrong. Would seem odd to drop the FM transmitter from the replacement for the 8110 / 8310 models. _________________ Navigon 8450 LIVE |

I would still wait until Navigon publish the full specs on the website. _________________ Navigon 8450 LIVE |
