I simply can't believe that such obvious details have been ignored on the latest flag ship models. It's absolutely outragous.
The sad thing is I've just been out with my 1000 and its a superb sat nav in action. Why oh why have they left out the essential small details. |
Tell me about it!
TT seem to be on a fervent mission to "simplify", or in other words to strip out all the add-ons and features that made their products so attractive to me in the past.

In most cases it seems to be: press a button, then speak, then press some more buttons! It's like TT only half implemented the Voice recognition side of things.

Yes, but that's the English voice. Actual foreign language voices seem to be very thin on the ground so far. There are very few installed on the machines from new, and of course they aren't downloadable via the 'My TomTom' system yet. |

Not quite right, it was first introduced with TT for iPhone 1,5 years ago

But how would it know whether you are talking to it, or the other half  . Interesting things might also happen if you had the radio on  |
the garmin nuvi 3790 handles it beautifully - you pick a word of your choice to activate it. the default is 'voice command' which you really wouldn't say ina normal conversation!
