Hi everyone :D

I was just about to buya a Mio C710 when I saw the Garmin Nuvi 660 with the widescreen at Halfords, which sort of swayed me Smile
The re is one question i have however which concerns me. Assuming the on screen mapping display is very similar to The Nuvi 350 it says in the review of that model:
Quote:
My only nag with the navigation mode is that the Nüvi will zoom automatically to fit the whole stretch of road onto the screen. This is helpful to get a rough idea of how the road goes but means that at a junction you don’t get to see a close-up of the roads and your route – a potential for major errors at complex junctions. You can zoom in manually but it would be better to be automatic near a junction or when you slow down; sometimes, however, it does zoom in at a junction – I don’t know if this is a bug or if I’m just not paying enough attention!


Is this correct and if so is the failure to see junctions present in the mapping presentation of the 660? This is quite important to me, as I have high visuospatial orientation which is one of my reasons for favouring the larger screen, but that's not much use if the junctions are not clearly visually represented.

Thanks

I believe that zoom issue was fixed in a firmware update? Although I may be mistaken.
