|
|
hello all, i am newbie in here, i am looking for gps navigation for driving purposes for new york city and suburban new jersey streets and ocasionally walking navigation. I want reliable, accurate, automatic rerouting, safety is my priority concern in driving, i will rely most of my driving base on loud volume voice guidance.
Anyone recommend what combination bluetooth gps&navigation software&voice amplified for use with ipaq2200?
Thank you very much for all your help. |

I received Tom Tom yesterday. Installed it, set a route to test it and went off on my journey. I live in N Wales, and managed to do a 22 mile journey, were only 7 miles of roads were actually on Tom Tom!!! Many junctions I came to didn't exist, and even a road to the main A55 juntion turnoff was not even on there even though it was built 4 years ago!!!
Even a planned journey to Liverppol failed, as it didn't know Kirkstone Road, and this is the nusiest road in the UK during the school run!!!
On my second journey was trying to take me miles out of the way to my target as it just didn't have the shortcut roads on it's database.
It may be good for long distance journeys on major roads, but come off them and your .
This is a complete waste of money and the company WILL NOT give me my money back even though it is of no use to me, and doesn't do the job I bought it for. Rip-off I call it.
Now I'll have to try and get Tom Tom to cancel the registration code, so I can sell it on Ebay at a LOSS!!!
I'll be buying CoPilot 5 which does door to door, and by the looks of the screenshots, has all the smaller roads were the houses are. |

Yes, sounds to me like you only have installed the Major Roads of Europe map and not the full Great Britain map. Could you be more specific about what route you planned and what you expected? Also, where exactly do you think this Kirkstone Road is supposed to be (which city)? _________________ Medion 95000 | TT3.07 | Kingston 512MB SD |

what did you Buy tomtom for then if not for navigation it sounds like you may have loaded the major roads of europe as ive had no problem in using it in wales or any where in the uk if your lokking at copilot then it is very bias towards main roads and tomtom beats it hands down in terms of routing.
as for routing in new york and jersey then tomtom copilot and mappopils (spelling sorry) could be the ones to look at _________________ currently using aponia truck navigation on windows phone. Good bye IOS don't let the door hit you on the way out .
