    Mine arrived today!

    If this helps anyone, it came with the following map system preinstalled on the MicroSD 256mb memory card (removable):

    "City Navigator Europe NT+ v8"

    Any idea what level of detail this gives?

    Mine arrived, but at my billing address, instead of delivery address, as apparantly it is not a verified address????
    Why dont they state that this may happen in the delivery terms. Spent ages trying to sort it out, now I have to wait until monday for it to be delivered to my nearest store (which I could have gone to in the first place, I thought online was supposed to be convienient :P) to pick it up

    That happens with any company. If you order online with a company you havent used before, you must have it sent to your billing address. After which, any orders after this can go to an alternative.

    I've made the same mistake before!

    Well happy.
    As a tool, not a toy;
    [No music, no games, no video, no camera].

    I've got it loaded with speed cam. locs and other stuff and it's a good robust pal.
    No fuss, and deadly accurate.
    For the price, tiz. a steal [but to repeat, 'as a tool'].

  • Received mine earlier today and tested it out on a route I usually take, worked a charm. Only one problem is that the voice keeps telling me miles when clearly it means metres.

    Which is odd. I've changed the units used in the settings so i'll give it a test tomorrow. But really if you change the units used it should surely convert.
