Navigon missing features

If navigon could add a speed readout together with estimated time of arrival - and estimated time to destination (as per TT3) then they would have a first class product - it a shame that such a small omission give TT3 the edge at the moment,

There is also a current speed reading on the top right. The only thing missing seems to be time remaining (i.e. difference between now and ETA)

I had to pick up my wife from a petrol station just off the end of the M40 on Sunday night and I used both current speed and ETA features to great effect.

"The speedo says 43 but GPS says 40 so I'm not going to trigger the speed camera" - I didn't

"I'll be there at 22:33" - actually arrived at 22:32:40 ish.

Working out the time left given the current time and the ETA isn't difficult but it would be very easy for Navigon to have placed it on screen.

Strange, in my version (the Aldi Medion package, bought in Holland) on the top right of the screen, all I have is the GPS status indication. When the GPS is running, I can see its aquisition status if I tap on the symbol, but nowhere is speed to be found. Could this be one of the differences in the Medion version and a full version, or between the continental and the UK version?
Despite this, I'm generally very please with the package. I don't want subscription services, GPRS services or the like, for something I use occasionally in the course of the year, or as fun on holiday. I want a package I buy once, with a reliable map data base, and full country or area loading to a reasonable sized - not GByte - memory card. The Medion package gives me this, almost.

The most recent Aldi/Medion package had Version 3.1 software if that helps.

Version 4 has got it all! And you can choose where you want to see it on the screen. Also if you desire it, you can see them all at the same time without tapping...
