1. I understand it doesn't come with a case.

2. They both have 4.3 wide screens.

3. The car cursor icon is customisable. See HERE.

2) Is the screen size the same as the TomTom XL as I want to by a stick on screen protector?

Yes, they share the same screens

3) And lastly, how easy is it to change the car icon ( I have a Ford Focus)?

It takes seconds to change to one of the alternative supplied ones. Creating your own assumes competency with a graphics/paint application and the ability to copy the correct format/size file to the 'ART' folder on your x20.

We have started a custom Cursor thread with some examples, if you ask for a certain car I'm sure someone will oblige by creating one for you Smile

Darren,

Can you choose a postcode when using the voice controlled destination selection thingy?

Cheers
Paul

Is it possible to see on the device or in any specifications which languages are supported for voice recognition and text-to-speech? I'm interested in Swedish specifically.. Smile

Thanks for that! I'd be interested to know if the availability of TTS is linked to the country where you are at the moment or rather to the language setting on the device. What will for instance happen if you have selected Spanish as voice language and travel in England. Will the roads be pronounced with a Spanish accent then? Smile

Yes they will, this was also possible on the 910. I recently travelled through France and turn instructions are given in English with street, road and town names correctly (or at least as correctly as TTS can do) in the local language.

A newbie here:

Never had a Sat Nav before and still waiting for my GO 520 to arrive. I was wondering if any one knows whether the new GOs will read SDHC cards?

Many thanks.

They don't support officially support SDHC although 'some' 4GB SDHC cards apparently work. My 8Gb SDHC card does not Sad
