The unit worked OK, including the camera alerts, out the box and some 2 minutes after I attached it to the windscreen via the supplied bracket.
It also has exceeding the speed limit alerts but I had to activate this via the menus on the system itself.
The post code only works to the 4 th digit and then it gives you a list of streets. This also seems to be true of other systems. A pity but I can live with that as sofar everything else is OK. The problems with the software in regard to recalculation of route and roundabouts also seems to have been fixed in the version on the Bluemedia.
Destinator have what they call a user "Community" but you need a license key, not supplied with the unit. I e-mailed Destinator and Evesham about this yesterday (Saturday) but no reply yet.
For the money I am very pleased even with the cameras and speed alerts let alone the SatNav. :D |
:D This Destinator Community was created for information change between Destinator and the Destinator 3 PDA costumers.
There is nothing for Destinator 3 PNA or Destinator ND costumers. It will most likely phase out as registration is no longer required :D |

Hi guys,
sorry to be such a pain, but does anyone know if there is a postcode search/finder for Destinator 5 ?
Or Pc software that does the same job?
Thanks
Ps I would have my previous post and insert this message, but don't see any edit button. Anyone know if is possible?
Cheers |

| you can search on the first 5 digits of the postcode, you are then shown a list of roads in that code area. |

Thanks itchy,
sorry my fault I didn't explain right, what I meant was if there is a kind of overlay where one can enter the seven digits code, like the one for TT
The way you explained how to find a street works well, thanks. It much easier, I'm begining to like Destinator quite a lot, shame about the big green arrow it would have been nice a tad smaller. I know, you're right I whinge too much!!! :D
Thanks again |

Thanks about the comments above regarding the Destinator Community.
Just for clarification in case I am missing something regarding post codes. You can enter a full post code but the system will only search on 5 digits and automatically inserts a space between the 3rd and 5th.
Can Destinator ND accept the .CSV files generated for camera alerts on this site, or must they be in .DAT format? Is there anything that can read .DAt or convert .CSV to it?
Have any users contacted Evesham for support?
Many thanks for any assistance.

The manual and set-up guide has been improved a lot, and the camera database is bang up to date. Both are available from www.lowestonweb.com/destinator

Anyone had any problems trying to upload the camera database.
Have followed the instructions but when I go to paste in the new folder the paste box is greyed out. Any ideas?

the only reason for the paste box being greyed out would be that there is nothing to paste. Go to the folder you created with the downloaded files, hit 'edit' and 'select all' from the toolbar at the top. Then go to the specified location on the BM-6300 and hit 'edit' and paste.
I have updated twice now and all ok. Just double check you are copying the files first. |
