Resolved Question: GPS Navigation: TomTom, Garmin, or Navigon?

I want to buy a GPS unit and need a little help in choosing. My budget is under $500. I'm only considering TomTom, Garmin, and Navigon. So far here's what I know: TomTom has most (and best) voice options including some celebrities. Also has fastest refresh rate. Garmin has better screen coloring and features (which ones???) Can I also get extra voices for this? Navigon updates cost $70!! Does Garmin and TomTom also charge for map updates? Routing is apparently best with the Navigon as of recent Garmin updates that actually made things worse... Can you add custom points of interest on each unit? Like for Red Light Cams? What gives one unit an edge over the other? What should I do? more

Resolved Question: Which TomTom GPS models allow you to add/download celebrity voices?

I've heard that you can add/download celebrity voices into TomTom GPSes, but I can't find any information about which models have this feature and which don't.

If you can cite a URL that has this information, it would be even more greatly appreciated. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: SatNav driving my girlfriend to depression ?

My girlfriend merrily found her way around England using a Tom Tom SatNav and she was happy. Then it died, no amount of resussitation and resetting could bring ol' Tommy back to life again. So I rushed down to Argos and bought the cheapest SatNav they had in stock, a basic NavMan, then sang its praises to my girlfriend (how expensive and sophisticated it was ;-). Its OK though, it gets her from A to B, but unlike ol' Tommy it only has two voices Him n Her, and they both sound like manic depressives, it fact they make Marvin, the Paranoid Android out of 'Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy' sound like hes on speed. As a result of listening to 't...u...r...n.....r....i....g...h...t....t....a...k....e....t....h.....e.... (you get the picture) my girlfriend is depressed everytime she gets in her car. Is there a way I can load her NavMan with cheerful voices like the TomTom ? more

Resolved Question: TomTom problem - cannot get audible safety camera alerts?

I have a brand new TomTom 530 - no additions, no extra POIs etc. When I approach a safety camera, the camera icon appears in the top-left of the screen along with the distance countdown indicator, but I expected to be warned (by a voice or an alert sound) that I am approaching a safety camera. I've looked in the Preferences, but I can't find a way to enable audible safety camera warning. Is there a way to do it? The sound is on - I hear the navigation instructions perfectly.

Resolved Question: for Iphone lover you may not want to read this.?

7 Reasons Why the New iPhone 3G Sucks 1. Too Expensive to Own Apple and AT&T may have shaved a couple of hundred dollars off the price but they will more than make up for it in monthly fees. If you take into account the regular monthly fee, the data fee, the text message fee which used to be free, and the $99 annual mobileme fee you could end up spending over $1,000 a year to own an iPhone, that’s 200 gallons of $5.00 gas. 2. Can’t Use the GPS like a GPS Forget about getting turn-by-turn voice directions in your car from the new iPhone 3G. The iPhone SDK makes it pretty clear it’s not allowed, “Applications may not be designed or marketed for real time guidance.” Yes it will superimpose your position on a Google map, or show you the closest pizzeria but what about getting real-time route guidance? There’s a rumor that TomTom may be developing a guidance application but you have to wonder how they’ll get it past the Apple police. 3. Can’t Tether the iPhone to Your Laptop Want to save $60 per month for a 3G card for your laptop and use the iPhone instead? Not going to happen - not allowed. Although there are plenty of phones, including AT&T’s Tilt, that will allow you to use your 3G phone as a high speed modem for your laptop, the iPhone won’t be one of them so you can add the cost of a 3G card for your laptop at $720 a year to your total cost of ownership. 4. Still No Cut and Paste Cut and Paste has been around on Apple computers since the earliest Mac Plus computers. What’s the big problem with implementing it on iPhones? Why is cut and paste so important? Suppose you’re browsing a web site and want to capture some text or a URL, or someone sent you an email and you want to grab some text from it and send to someone else. Not possible on an iPhone. Speaking of email, where’s the spell checker? Predictive typing is fine but spell checkers are everywhere else but here. 5. Wimpy 2 MP Camera In the world of 5 MP Smartphones and 10 MP point and shoot cameras why is the iPhone still stuck with a measly 2 MP? That’s so 2003. While we’re at it how come we can’t record video, afraid the non-existent SD card might fill up? The iPhone should be able to stream video by now. 6. No Stereo Bluetooth We thought the iPhone was supposed to be part iPod. At least they fixed the recessed headphone jack flaw (and called it a new feature) but the A2DP stereo Bluetooth standard has been around for a while and is missing from the iPhone. 7. The List Goes On Still no Flash player for rich media content (what grudge does Steve Jobs hold against Adobe). Still can’t send pictures in MMS messages, still no native voice dialing, no mobile TV, no replaceable battery, no flash memory card, and on and on. AT&T: iPhone Sucks, Buy a BlackBerry July 16, 2008 in AT&T, Apple An AT&T Regional Manager recently put together a 5 page document outlining exactly why the iPhone 3G sucks compared to any BlackBerry and Windows Mobile phones. The document was SUPPOSED to be internal but when an AT&T mall employee used them as “flyers”, convincing customers OUT of the iPhone, we’re sure a few jobs are going to be lost. Among the documents was a page titled Top 10 Reasons Why The iPhone is Still No BlackBerry. We’ve listed the reasons below along with an image of the actual document explaining each: No removeable battery No video record and no flash No voice dial No expandable memory No MMS No CDMA No UMA No Stereo Bluetooth No Cut And Paste The BlackBerry is ADDICTIVE Straight from the horses mouth: http://mobileroar.com/category/carriers/att this is not a question, I just want anybody who want to buy Iphone 3G should read this. niiro13, what are you try to say, Iphone 3g is for businesses use only. then I guess people who is not a businesses person shold not Iphone then. more
