GreenV8Machine Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 i went to halfords today, the guy was annoyingly dumb. Im thinking about getting an xl2 iq and trying to hack it :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Barton Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I got the TomTom XL Live Europe. Was cheapest in Halfords. Comes with Europe maps - not brilliant definition outside the UK, but plenty good enough. The Live Services work much better than I expected, and even work in Europe, showing traffic hold ups and whereabouts of cheapest petrol etc. Dead easy to use, but I've never used the Itinerary Planning, so don't know how good that is.

mpbarrett Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I brought a cheap refurb one (I think I posted the link in the 10CR section).Make sure it will handle internaries, some of the cheap Garmin and TomToms dont. guess how I found out....The only problme I have had is that there is not enough internal memory to take all the eupropean maps so I had to add a memory card (max 4 G) and then had a big problem convincing the software to put the updated maps onto the memory card.....Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hi allI know it's a bit early, but yes I will be supplying Sat Nav files as before... The usual conversion programs are still out there (ITN Converter / Tyre etc) for systems other than TomTom.A word of warning if you are looking to purchase a new system... TomTom have stopped providing Itinerary Planning on their latest units (and you can't hack them). I don't know why, nor do the thousands that have been complaining about it for the last year or so, but they don't look to be budging. Anyway, my advice is if you are buying a new one, look around for an older refurb or on eBay for second hand... something like a Go 740 or 750 that comes with European maps or a Go 540 or 550 that you'll need to upgrade with European maps, but has a micro sd card slot to do this.Cheers allEllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbarrett Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Reading this about the TomTom files made me look at the count down timer... Only 90 days left what happened to the rest of the year! GT6 in bits, gearbox in garage, Acclaim sold but there is always the Herald so no need to panic tooo much yet. :)Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complained mine allways said "Roundabout" I like the voice on Reggie Barton's, It yelled and cussed at him when they made a wrong turn!

I managed 3 or 4 decent laps in the Scooby before the traffic got a bit heavier. Any later and it's like you say, very busy and very slow. If it is busy just back everyone up behind you by crawling down to Mirabeau and then you can blast round Loews and Portier and through the tunnel. There does not seem to be any cameras about - or I didn't see any anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
