Hi There,
It will probably work the same way as my old Navigon unit - and to be honest it wasn't impressive.
The TT GPRS service has been far more reliable.
It used to loose reception in parts of the country and attach itself to the wrong radio station. I spent the majority of the journey with little or no TMC and I'm talking drives from London to Yorkshire.
I would wait for the reviews on it before buying - hopefully it will be better than this.
hope this helps.... _________________ Thanks,
Chris |

Does it include a licence for the UK?
Does it actually work reliably in the UK (many people are complaining about radio signal reception problems with other TMC units?
When the review due to be published? ;) |

TomTom is reporting it has now been delayed till Q3 2006 (July,Aug,Sept). TomTom Customer Support say "Dont Hold your Breath"
Could be production issues, could be licencing issues, all in all not good for a product that was supposed to be out at the launch of the new *10 Range last week! |

There are some other GPS/TMC combined devices available, but I don't know if they would work with your software and Blackberry. _________________ Jock
