A month ago I took my first steps into sat-nav with a mio 269. I bought Poi-warner and a subscription to poi-handler.com and found it to be excellent.

I bought a TMC receiver, flashed the firmware, installed Miomap V2 etc and finally ran into the TMC decoding problems (yes, I can see you all smirking knowingly!!)

Long and short is, I sold the 269 on ebay, and have just bought a brand new c710. The question is now whether the POI-warner and POI-handler do anything for me or whether to just pass the subscription over to the buyer of my old one for gratis.

Cheers,
John

Hi John,
At the moment there is no way you can directly use POI-warner with the C710. There has been correspondence with poiwarner.de which suggests that Mio need to implement a software change first, and they seem reluctant to do it.
The C710 does however have a really good integrated speed camera warning system, and you can import both speed cams and other POI's with a little effort. There is plenty to read in this forum.

PS Did your C710 come with Miomap 3.2, or are they still sending out 3.1?

Thanks for the advice, I thought that was the case. I should get the c710 delivered tomorrow with a bit of luck (£261 from supertrader.co.uk via ebay!). I'll upgrade it to 3.2 promptly unless anyone can give me a good reason not too!

Cheers,
John

Some find 3.2 OK, others have had problems. Personally I have gone back to 3.1 but don't let that put you off. There is a lot of discussion about this if you browse back in the forum.
I have just bought a second one and that was still 3.1. I would be interested to know what yours is.
