Ok, perhaps 'awful' is too strong a word, but it's very limited, even if it did cost £50.

Can't use it for walking etc
Can't avoid toll roads
Can't avoid motorways
Crap visual aid
Crap audio aid
Takes 5 minutes on cold boot to find sattelites

If anyone has gone one, I know it can be done, but how easy was it to change to TomTom?

I bought one, it's not bad for what it is. The "Turbodog" software it comes with isn't great though. It's a cinch to put TomTom V6 on there though - just put the program and maps folder on a SD card, install in the Navigo et voila!

PM me if you need any more info.

As he said - install TomTom and it's as good as units selling at several times the price. biggrin I swore I'd never get one; but at £50 it's a fun toy to play with...

Richard, you have mail.

Before I get a deluge of emails asking for help and advice, I should point out that I am utterly clueless! All I did was copy some files to an SD card and miraculously, it worked. biggrin
