Sat Nav for £59, Cheap Cameras + Tesco Easter Deals. (merged)

wish_fish

Im not getting very good results with video playback using TCPMP. I did a bechmark test and my average speed was 48.59% and 12 frames a second. The data rate was 474kbits/s. The video file should be 25 frames and 975kbit/s. Is my memory card too slow? I have tried 2 different ones now also it says the vidio driver gapl is not supported.
Thanks for the help

With all the problems some people have had with their units I consider myself extremely lucky. I bought two of these on Good Friday, one for myself and one as a gift. I've never had a satnav before so I had no real expectations of how it would work (I always thought I could live without such a gadget) but for £60 I decided to give it a go. It took minutes to initally set up the language, speed camera alert, etc and then I attached it to the screen, plugged it into the cigarette lighter socket and off I went! :j

We have been away this week and have done a lot of travelling in unfamiliar areas where the satnav has been well tested. For the price I am very very impressed. Some of the locations we visited would never have been found so quickly without this unit so it definitely saved us time and petrol.

I also live in the country and it has directed me locally down different country lanes and shown me quicker routes to places I have been travelling to for years. I am well chuffed.

I typed in my home postcode whilst in Staffordshire and directly outside my house it told me "You have reached your destination". I think its great.

I agree with the comments about the tone of the ladys voice but we have given her a very posh name and my daughter sits in the back of the car replying to every instruction with "Thank you

---

" (I have omitted the name to avoid offending anyone who actually has that particular name).

Sorry to all those that have had problems.:o I guess thats just the luck of the draw.

What is the make and model number of this one, sounds good to me.

Help desperately needed. I have been trying for nearly a week now to get my Medion 205 working but its gone from bad to worse. Couldnt get it converted to English first of all so rang the helpdesk who informed us to delete everything off the sat nav which stupidly we did. We now only have 2 icons on the the front screen - setting and N which do not allow you to go into them. Have tried installing everything but nothing will now install. I am assuming we have now knackered it therefore cannot return. Any help would be gratefully received

I managed to get TomTom working which is on a sd card but it will not recognize my gps poi's and when i go to add a poi category it tells me it already exists, anybody else had the same problem

If it was Tescos helpdesk you rang I would return to them telling them that you followed the instructions given to make it work properly and now its worse! You bought a defective item, and you have every right to return it for a refund.

I've not long tried that. Once the unit reset it came back with a blueish screen instructing me to insert the memory card in 9 languages and now will not clear from this screen. Still there regardless of the card being inserted or not. Carried out further resets and battery hard reset but still the same!!

HELP - though I was on a winner as I managed to change the language into English but now getting a bit racked off!!

Would it be possible to pin the details of how to install tomtom to either the front of this thread or to a new thread possibly in the techie section?
