They should have been using Jaguars anyway - why give the contract to BMW, a foreign competitor? What a joke this country is...A German owned company? As opposed to an Indian one?

Apologies if this has already been discussed (I couldn't find it if it has), but how do I install the voice packs that can be downloaded with the speed camera database on to my 3790?
Thanks |

I don't think the 3790 has any uniquness regarding routes, all Sat Navs can produce "Sat Nav Specific Routes", and I still think it's neccessary to have proper map knowledge before setting off on a lo ... |

Ok, this should be simple, but it seems not
Where can I get one of these? Amazon have got them but it doesn't specify if it comes with life maps, and at £225 I suspect not. I also want to get ... |
