The numpties who 'design' UIs have no idea! Voice Guidance on or muted is one of those things which should be right at the top level with an on screen icon. The other is 'cancel guidance' which is another command you often need whilst driving but it is hidden away down the menu tree. The other thing is that I agree TMC is a total waste of time and money. Never has accurate info - either it doesn't know about genuine jams or notifies yoou of spurious delays. Overall I think they would have been better getting TomTom to design a removable unit for a dock - or how about an iPhone/iPod option?

Agree about the TMC it seems to pick up delays miles ahead which have cleared by the time you reach them, it also has a liking for motorways so will go the long way round sometimes. Having said that its generaly quite good! 2012 MY TD4 SX Manual in very rare Buckingham Blue! |

What I do like about the Satnav (mine's a Garmin) is the speed reading, which is more accurate and easier to read than the speedo. The speed limit warning is also useful for those places where there are cameras but no signs. |

I have the Tom Tom Start 60 built into the cubby hole, so far so good, very good Satelite lock, through the heated screen, very fast at re routing.

Must agree with Taz TT START 60 was easy to fit and update no need for discs , just need laptop for updates . If you want a basic satnav to get you from A to B can't go wrong |

Yes, I like the way this looks and have followed the thread, but really happy with the functionality of the iPhone app... Maybe i should give this installation a go tho... 2012 DISCOVERY 4 GS AUTO ORKNEY GREY 2012 FREELANDER 2 SD4 GS AUTO BALTIC BLUE - GONE 2011 FREELANDER 2 TD4 GS MANUAL BALI BLUE - GONE |
