The web site does not allow me to select my current software - there are no products in the drop down box. Does this work for other people?

I only have Firefox here at the moment and I get the same problem. I will email them and ask them to sort it out

The website also says the price is from 79 euros. Don't fancy paying that for an upgrade from 5 to 5.1 that should really be free - at least I believe it is free for users of the non OEM version. I assume it includes minor fixes rather than a major upgrade. Have you been given any pricing info Steve?

I asked for prices and their reply was as per my previous post. I presume after sending off the OEM CDs to them they will send you the update free of charge

Software update from MobileNavigator|5.0 to MobileNavigator|5.1
Windows Mobile 2003

PompeySteve

Unfortunately Shaun, the upgrade requires you to have registered your Navigator software and have an activation code. To register, you need the serial number of the software - which Medion kindly do NOT provide in the box - hence the convoluted upgrade procedure!

I didnt get on with the Navigator software found it ran very slow through menus and route finding , now got Tom Tom and it is loads faster and got a little program called POI Edit installed on my PC i fire it up and then get loads of POI's very easy to use and can auto update as well, got all the speed camera and mobile speed camera locations

I suppose the next question is:

Where's the best place to get good free games! (legal of course)

I just phoned medion, the lady on the phone said the software that comes with the micromaxx will not work in the medion because the units are slightly different, the software is being adapted for the medion and should be ready in about a month but you would have to pay for it.

Anyway, I am not happy with paying the same price for a lesser item so i rang somerfield who are sorting something out for me.

PompeySteve

Strange, as my unit is definitely branded Micromaxx!

Good luck

ShaunJUK

Yes she said navigator 5 works on the micromaxx but not the medion branded unit

Aaah got you. So you have the Medion branded unit then. Hmmm strange indeed. Hopefully Safeway will be able to source you a micromaxx branded one and swap it for you.
