Faulty Medion Power Adaptor or GPS Mouse ?

[davecrowley]

Hi Philip,

Thanks for the reply. I've recently got hold of a S/H Rikaline receiver and can't wait to test it. I was thinking of getting TomTom 3 ( £ 120 on line ) as opposed to getting Navigon 4 ( £ 250 from Navigon ), but I've read that several people on these forums have had problems with TT3. As someone who has used both, is TT3 really that bad when compared to Navigon ?

PS - I hope all goes well in your quest, I too feel a little frustrated about getting a system up and running soon.

I've not got that much experience with Tomtom3, but I didn't like the 'look' of the maps (either 2D or 3D) , in comparison with Navigon 3.1 (as supplied with the Medion PDA), although the later version of Navigon (4) looks much more like TomTom3 than Navigon 3.1 !

Also, entering destinations for route planning in TomTom 3 and Navigon 4 seems to be much more complex than in Navigon 3.1.

I'm sure it would have advantages for some people, but if you're just trying to plan a route from A to B, or from your present position to somewhere, it seems far more complicated than it should be !

I suppose it all comes down to personal taste (or perhaps I should have read the manual !)!

Well, after a frustrating 2 weeks since I packaged up my second suspect GPS mouse and power cable and sent them off to Medion; and just having got together my notes, etc, so I could ring them today to ask what was happening ...

What does the postman bring this morning ? - Correct ! - A replacement GPS mouse and power cable !!

The 2 items in the package each had their own packing note, but there was not compliments slip or explanatory note.

So I don't know if this is 2 new items, or 1 returned item and 1 new item, or 2 repaired items, or any other combination of returned, repaired and new !

Nor do I know if the items have been tested (as I specifically requested, and I was told that they would be).

Also, I've heard nothing more about Medion refunding my return postage costs - even though I was told 2 weeks ago that they would be sending a cheque to reinburse me for the first package I returned 'shortly' !

I suppose I ought to be grateful for what I've got, and get on with testing things - which I will be doing this evening.

Hopefully I'll be able to report a fully working system !
