Hi' Having mounted my "TomTom Go" directly in my line of site on the steering coloum would it be a possible to set the speed at say 30 mph to turn off the map and fill the screen with a large digital speedometer read out.. Just a thought a wizz kid might be able to do this.

Why not just take the obstruction out of your line of sight and take the occasional look at your car speedo like everyone else ? This might improve road safety.

Notwithstanding the above....
| Quote: | Turn off map display/Turn on map display
Above a specified speed, for safety reasons, the main map view can be replaced by a 'schematic' view, focussed on the next driving instruction. You can choose to use this feature by choosing 'Turn off map display' . Select 'Above certain speed' to specify a cut-off speed, or 'Always' to have the schematic view shown at all speeds. Choose 'Turn on map display' to always show the map again. |

Also don't forget that the accuracy of GPS speed read out is only correct if you are travelling at a constant speed on the level, as it only updates once a second.

Thanks Andy. That's what I meant to say. Must have been a Freudian slip !!
