For anyone who missed the PDA I saw this today:

Medion Smartphone with GPS, Navigon v4 & UK/Ireland Maps for £149.99

*shrugs* dunno how good it is but it seems a pretty good deal to someone who knows very, very little about mobile phones.

Seen this on the Medion website... note that the GPS is a wired unit, not integrated into the phone or Bluetooth.

HTH.

Noticed that PCWORLD have just changed their price for Garmin I3 on the website to £99.97 see link
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/product.php?sku=709717
however not in stock to order on line - maybe they have them in stores for this price
note this is an excellent satnav and if you can get one for £100 this is remarkable value

I actually got them to pricematch in-store with Somerfield to save me a walk and ended up with a bargain because they said they'd take another £19 off if I took out an extended warranty for £49, to which I replied "that's great, okay!".

Last week "I decided that the extended warranty wasn't such a great deal" and they refunded the £49 within the 14-day cooling off period.

I don't seem to be able to load the speed camera database and the other POI files. It appears that when I try to add both the first lot disappear. Any suggestions how I can load both?

The Garmin always unloads preceeding POIs when you add new. You have to do it all at once - create a file that you maintain all POIs in and delete out of date ones when you update (speed files) - you only need to delete a few at a time. Then upload the one file with everything in each time.

Hope that helps.

Many thanks - I now understand what I need to do differently.
