Early days with my TT1

[NukeThemAll]

Once more, thanks to all moderators and contributors who've helped enormously to educate me before I took the SatNav plunge.

So....TT1, excellent piece of kit, fits nicely in my existing little padded camera case (no need to splash out on TT's super de-luxe offering). Bought a 1 Gb SD card from PicStop, a Kingston 133x, installed software onto this using simple copy (the same way I backed up to both a PC and Mac, ie I didn't use TT's backup software). So far, only minor errors in maps, some bits surprisingly up to date though. GPS reception superb (thanks SirfIII chip) even in a brief visit to the urban canyons of South Kensington. Re-routing is amazingly quick - as expected, much quicker than a friend's VDO Dayton of ~5 years vintage.

Thanks to this forum, found www.janboersma.nl/gett/ and the superb programme which links Google Earth and TT. Used waypoints on GE to 'force' a particular route and also because it's easier using a big computer screen to see exactly where I want to go. Dead easy to use and worked a treat.

TT's POIs...well, the fuel stations (when I switched these on for a very short time) often appeared in fields or not at all. Will try a 3rd party set I found via this forum.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend; did think about a Garmin Nuvi but price difference and especially price of Garmin's European maps if I ever need them, made it a clear TT1 win.
