Hi, Iam new to this and new to GPS I have a XDAIIi which I have brought a copy of Medion Navigator 4.2 from e-bay and have this working using a wired GPS unit. it works great and for the cost :D . I would like to add the speed cameras to it and hoped that someone here can help Question

.I have used the database before on a laptop with a GPS unit but this wasn't workable on your own as no voice on Autoroute 2004 Crying or Very sad

. If any one can help me with this it would be very helpful.

The other thing is does anyone know were I can get/buy other maps for this as I could do with most of Europe.

Hello Ian

On a PDA running Medion Navigator 4.2 you have to use a program called POI-Warner to display add-on poi's like the Safety Camera ones, but I don't know if you can use that program with your setup, it would be best to contact POI_Warner and ask them.

There is a charge of about 30 Euros for the program, but I don't know of any freeware program that works with Medion/Navigon Navigator that is free.

Hi Ian re Europe coverage you should have 4 CD's with all of western Europe on with the 4.2 version this includes France,Spain,Portugal,Benelux,Germany,Switzerland&Austria,Italy,Scandinavia and the U.K the only countries it does not have unfortunatly is eastern Europe i.e Slovenia,Slovakia,Czech Republic,Poland etc. The detail in the European mapping is very good right down to street level in fact about 10 times better than autoroute. There are a few posts re POI Warner on the Mitac/Medion forum. If you want other maps for your PDA then any pocket PC maps should do i.e TomTom etc although I might add after seeing TomTom 3 working on my friends PDA its not worth spending more compared with what you already have. TomTom is a good system and I am not slaging it, its just not £100 better.

thanks for this I have sent a e-mail to see if they have a uk demo as my german not very good. As for maps I brought this through e-bay and it was a pre-loaded mmc card but does seam to have europe on so not to bad.

A new question I want to add a 1GB SD card for work files can I just copy the current card to a new card via a pc or would I just have to copy the map files???????????

I don't convert any files at all. I simply have POI Warner on the PDA, it is set to poiwarner.com I select all the poi I want and it does the rest. Takes a couple of minutes at each synch.

You can then add your own POI dynamically and also set POI for delete.

The only gotcha is you must do a soft reset after each synch.

Hi there

I too have Navigator 4.2 and run POI Warner alongside it. It really is quite excellent and the ability to add POI's when you come across new ones e.g. speed cameras is very useful. I don't have to soft reset after synching but maybe I'm just lucky.

Can I ask if anyone knows if there are any upgrades available for 4.2? My discs show the source as Teleatlas but there's nothing on the discs, or the actual programme when it's running, to check for updates.
