Nuvi300 - 10 months on

[hooberscroober]

Hi,
As a multi drop driver I rely on satnav to get around new routes. I have had a couple of TomTom units stolen so thought I would try Nuvi300. With the latest firmware and mapset the actual navigation is about the same as TT, both making the same mistakes at the same places. However there are a couple of real annoyances with the Nuvi.
After a stop, when the engine is restarted the Nuvi PSU turns itself off, unless you remove the unit from its cradle or withdraw the PSU from the socket when starting.
Secondly when inputting addresses you have to start from scratch each time, i.e. Select England, Spell City/Postal code then key in the postcode then the house number. Very time consuming compared to TT's which prompts the user based on the last address.
Hopefully a new firmware version will als permit a multi stop itenerary to be input, and then - let's go fantasy here - maybe allow it to load that itenerary from AutoRoute. Any takers?
