Works OK, but not as easy to use as the TTO. > snipped....... Sounds like it needs an external antenna. I recently used a friends cheap nav system that they bought from Aldi, its supposedly got Navman electronics. I tested it on a trip from Melton to Pearcedale and return, it worked flawlessly including through the tunnels. Occasionally it made a single beep followed by 2 beeps, we eventually figured out it was telling us speed camera locations, I thought I knew most of those but it looks like there are quite a few more that I didn't know about.

It probably was mentioned but I don't remember, I can ring and ask if you need to know? Daryl

But I refuse to buy anything with Sensis rubbish aboard. That's because I know it can be shitloads better if they use their in- house stuff properly. So far, they're Scamming us beyond belief. __ Toby |
