Hi BigPerk
I have a Nuvi 660 and it has the Daniel TTS voice as standard, so I would presume it could be standard on all mid/high end Nuvis.
I can honestly say that this voice is by far the best ... |

Hi Declan
My basic problem with the "Driver Safety" mode was that it presumed a Pocket PC navigation program could "nanny" me into not looking away from the road. It would be fine if the mapping is ... |

Hi Declan29
I'm in a similar position to you only that I have had my 660FM for two weeks now.
So, my comments on the Nuvi 660FM vs Copilot 6 (on an iPAQ 3970)
1. No more obsession with the so ... |

I've already jumped ship and have recently bought a Nuvi 660FM.
I found CP6 OK, and when I first got it was impressed with the Text to Speech. However, the one on the Nuvi is out of this world. The ... |

Thanks neil01
I did the deed as soon as I got the chance. It looks good so far, but I do not feel I will miss the "fat finger" keyboard as I don't intend to plan routes as I am driving along.

I used to have a similar problem. I run CP6 on an iPAQ H3970 and Windows 2003.
I also had the ETA problem described elsewhere on this forum where the ETA was calculated assuming a road spe ... |

Hello
I submitted a question to ALK but part of the process involved looking at their Christmas down times. I think they are on skeleton staff - already!

Finally took the plunge and went for the upgrade.
The GPS 3450 sleeve worked fine, although (like CP5) I had to manually configure the sleeve (port COM7, baud rate 57600).
The installation was m ... |

Hello BigH
In what way does the latest Sirf III ship based devices "leave those jackets in the dust"? Getting a fix has never been a problem with the 3450 - at least not with mine. A Bluetooth devi ... |

Today, I got a phone call from ALK querying the suitability of CP6 with my Navman GPS 3450 receiver. This is the one with the upgradable firmware and external aerial socket.

It appears from your signature that you use TT5 and CP5. Do you use both together, or did you get one because you found the other unsatisfactory for some reason? I am most interested in h ... |
