Its no different in practice.
I give in and will be returning the receiver while I still can.
Shame, that. |

Sadly, it seems to have been Halloween type fake blood
The release notes for 6.52 make no reference whatsoever to any changes relating to the TMC receiver.

can any of the existing TMC owners/beta testers say if they are happy with the service or not
Well, this unwitting beta tester is in the midst of a row with TomTom over the fundamentally flawed pro ... |
