OK we have got V5. What do we want to see in Version 6.0

Being a Belgian French user of TomTom in Bruxelles, I'd like TomTom to release "back" the Belgium map in French version.
for the moment, we don't have the choice anymore in loading the "French" or "Dutch" BENELUX map, like it was possible previously, and there for all the streets are appearing in Dutch on the screen in Bruxelles !!!

mmm I forgto something that could be usefull ...

Last time, I've entered in my Favorites an address of someone I had to visit a few days later (City, street, house number).

2 Days later, I jusrt asked to "Navigate to" my favorite, but once arrived, TOMTOM said "You are arrived" ... but no way to know which house it was ...

I mean I had a couple of houses in front of me without knowing the exact locarion.

To resume, would be nice to display in some way the complete information of the destination you entered (City, Street, house number).

Actually, once a destination is reached, you can't display the house number, I think ...

Here's what I'd like to see:

1) Reverse last route/go back to start; i.e. go back the way you just came. Sometimes it takes you back a completely different way back on a round trip.

2) Ability to control spoken instructions independantly of other sounds. I always switch on TT even when I know where I'm going just to get the audible POI warnings, see how long of the journey is left, remind me when to exit the motorway etc. But in this situation I don't want to hear the spoken instructions.

3) Be nice to display the altitude. This could be a configurable display option and hidden away on the Sattelite/GPS information screen.

4)Safety warnings. If you're approaching a road junction or roundabout too quickly, it could warn you to slow down! especially useful when travelling at night.

5)Option to automatically switch to night display mode

6) Choice between shortest/fastest route should "analogue" not binary!

All of the above especially the brightness thing.

I would like a Bluetooth wide angle mini cam that I can fix in the back window of my caravan and use it as a reversing cam! Out of here

Probably as a separate application... a map editing suite for adding POIs, correcting errors such as junctions which are now "no right turn", one-way streets or whatever.

I know there is no chance whatsoever of this ever happening, but well... you did ask!

I'd like to be able to browse the map, and have the cursor automatically start were I am.

Also easier route planning by pointing at the map (useful if you know the route yuo want but not the name ofthe roads or towns)

More reliablity in finding road names if you haven't got the post code

The ability to stop programing the destination details at wahtever level you know them (eg. just eh town name, or just the road name) without having to go to the next screens

* An option to log NMEA-data for later retrieval on the PC.

This will allow you to load it in any NMEA compitable software e.g autoroute(?) to see where you wen't etc or software for track and performance analysis like OakGPS.

Is there a reason for the limit on 40 extra POIs? if not this limit could be removed or raised.

It would also be good to have more warning sounds so we could make warnings for all the different speed cameras instead of just some of them with space left for normal warning sounds incase you want alerting to something else.

I also agree with everyone else a one tap way of adding a location as POI whilst in navigation. If they keep the remote this could be done on that. (although for all I know it already is.)

1. Some kind of map editing software. Obviously the complexity of this might limit the functionality, but a good start would be the ability to make Roadblocks permanent, rather than lose them every time the TT is switched off would allow No Through Roads, etc to be added.

2. A facility to enhance the Traffic option, by transmitting current/recent location and speed back through GPRS (rather than just receiving information about current delays). This data could then be analysed, allowing more accurate traffic information to be made available. You would need recent signals from more than one TT to make the information valid (how do you know whether someone is in a queue or just parked by the roadside?), but I'm sure this could be overcome.

Coverage of Ireland would be nice! Embarassed

Just two things would do for me which have been mentioned before:

- Ability to turn off the voice directions without turning the volume off totally (so you can still be aerted to POI's).

-Ability to record the position of a new POI as you drive past, in a more user friendly way than you can now, with less 'taps'.
