I am using Anquet mapping software on my Asus A696 PDA. In general I find this very useful. However, the issue I have is that when I am walking slowly my actual and displayed position can be lagged by as much as 150 metres. I understand that this is a feature known as Static Navigation. A search of the web suggests that SirfTech software can be used to toggle this off and on.

I like the spec of the 740 go live, but feel the live part (subscription) is not for me. Is there a cheaper or earlier model with the same spec, but without the live, mainly looking for voice commands as disabled, Thanks D...........in UK

Walked this last Saturday and in my opinion one of the best walks in the area. A superb edge on Access land. good paths all the way. Park at Askrigg - Warton bridge - Nappa Mill - Woodhall - Beldhaw Hill - The Combs & Ellerkin Edge - at end of edge head NW to pick up road then turn left - right into Low Straights Lane - and then down the Waterfalls back into Askrigg. 8 1/4 miles. Highly...

This is driving me CRAZY I've got the latest PGPSW speed camera files loaded (UK Speed Zoned) and I've got Liz Whittacker's voice as the warning, ie, "Warning! GATSO ahead - speed limit xx mph" and that all works brilliantly. However, even when there are no speed cameras around (so no warning needed at all), the darn thing gives out three "bongs" at 40mph, 50mph, 60mph and 80mph.

Help! I've just been given a NaMan iCN 530 but without discs, they were lost or discarded as the previous owner did not have a PC! Please can anyone please help? I understand that at NavMan you can download updates, but these need the original disc(s), but on their site they say that they no longer support the 530! :-(

I know that my TomTom hotel POI set has a reasonable coverage of hotels in it, it had my holiday hotel any ways. I have not heard of GPS devices being illegal in spain, but perhaps its for radar detection devices. "Jim" wrote in message

I'm confused looking at all the options, I use a Garmin 76csx for leisure pursuits but I want a simple, small logger that I can carry all day without worrying about it.

Is anything better than the...

At that price, I'll not bother thanks, I'll just rely...
