Well i must say i was impressed with the software apart from the one instructuion to take the left exit of the motorway in Italy. Basiscally i used the system to navigate me from near Milan to Lugano in Switzerland.

The software had the hotel in its database and took me to its door. The nice part was not having to load separate countries as you would with other software, it made the drive more seamless.

Another issue that impressed me was my emtac bluetooth gps unit. While in Switzerland i had to drive through tunnels some of which were a couple of miles long and the gps unit picked up a signal immediately on exiting the tunnel every time.

A failing of the system (or maybe it is there and i just can't find it) is that it cannot warn you in advance of approaching tolls so you can prepare your change or find the credit card. It would be further useful if the system could inform you of estimated toll costs.

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately none of the navigation system vendors have incorporated Toll plazas, not even as POIs. Should be relatively easy though, since the map provider do have these attributes in their maps. Most probably this is again a question of money...

Maybe someone out there has privately collected the Toll Plaza POIs? These could then be used in CoPilot, but also in TomTom...
