Loiseau Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Thanks to everyone for all the GPS-buying advice a month or so back ( http://www.livingfrance.com/dcforum/DCForumID33/1134.html )I finally tracked down what I wanted in PC World (Ipaq 1940 +TomTom3 +car kit). Messed about with it for about 3 days without much success (lousy instructions!), so went back and collared the guy who initially explained it to me, and got him to take me through it again. Now, if the wind is in the right direction, I can get it working fine - UK-only so far, but am taking it to France soon. Of course, now I have used it a bit, everybody's comments in the previous postings make *far* more sense!A few more questions, though:- Occasionally, although I get the map working the route OK, there is no audible voice, although the sound is switched on. After trying all sorts of things, I eventually get it to work - but am never sure *what* I did that cured it. Any advice?- I sometimes think TomTom doesn't give instructions early enough at those places where motorways diverge and you have to position yourself in the right lane before they really split. (It's not that I'm going fast, before you jump to conclusions.) Is there a way of asking it to give instructions a bit earlier?- I need to get one or two more of those little memory cards. Are the prices specially good anywhere particular in the UK? or France? I bought a 128Mb one for 39.99 at PC World.

They are based in Jersey I think and post to UK or Francehttp://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=777regardsGeorge, Kent & 72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter72 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I can also recommend Crucial, I have a Lexar SD card in my Ipaq 2210 with all my Fugawi and Memory map maps on it.You could also try www.dabs.com and select their French site, I use them quite often in UK.RegardsPeter (72)Will I ever finish?
