I'm generally disappointed with RDS TMC. I'm now wary about using its warnings to avoid problems - bacause I've found before that when I've ignored it there were either no problems or they disappeare ... |

Yes, the problem with updating the maps on my Navman 510 is the cost: £99 versus a whole new system from TomTom for little more. Navman really needs to reduce considerably the cost of its map upgrade ... |

Mike: Many thanks. So, it's a best buy standalone system with TMC, then - something like the Sony. I don't want to use TT Traffic as it's subscription-based. Other systems are free for ongoing use. ... |

PS: Forgot to say I have TTN5 bluetooth with Ipaq. Can I get a GPS receiver with TMC to replace TomTom's and, if so, would the existing software be sufficient?
Thanks. |

Hi: I'm running TTN5 on my PDA. For the latest UK maps, is there a cheap upgrade (I think not), or would we have to buy them for full price, as though 'from scratch'? If the latter - seems pretty m ... |

Do we know if the maps are contemporary. As we all know, TT has a habit of releasing maps with glaring errors and omissions, omitting roads built sometimes years before its relase date. I hope they' ... |
