Destinator 6

Thanks for the replies!

But, doesn't the mio 168 have a QVGA (320x240) display? On my Loox Desti PN (no VGA support) in 3D mode went well. The problem is Desti 6's VGA support - slow for me.

I have the O2 Exec using a VGA screen. The 3D mode is working fine and is as good as I get with TOMTOM. However I am also liking the 2D mode which is much much better than TOMTOMs

I have Destinator 6 running on my iPaq4700. I always use it in 2d mode and it's fine - much better than PN. Today I decided to try it with just the GPS using the map to show my position as I drove and after about 10mins the 4700 froze. I reselt it and tried again but the same thing happened. When I checked the memory there was only 24mb free in the main memory.

Anyway not a problem for me as I much prefer the 2d mode. I often drive with Destinator setup and running giving me verbal route instructions with AA Speedcare in the foreground giving true speed and camera locations. This combination works fine.

I am using the standard "out of the box" build of the O2 Exec.

During today’s drive I have used 2D and 3D modes. I have noticed a slight delay in the drawing of the 3D screen especially when driving over 40 MPH and in my opinion the screen is still clearer than TOMTOM’s and CoPilots.

However I also prefer the 2D mode as you get much more detail and the zooming in function works extremely well.

I have also downloaded the Speed Camera Database from this website in to my favourites and switched on the alarm function. This I have found to be excellent on par with TOMTOM and a big improvement over CoPilot.

Hopefully if I can find the time over this weekend I intend to write a little review and post it into the forum, when I can work out how to include photos!

boardlord - If you are having speed issues it may be connected with the type of memory card you are using. I would always recommend using a known brand rather than an unknown clone.

Mark.

I would be very grateful for any information you can provide on how to load the Speed Camera database in Destinator 6. I current use AA Speedcare because I gave up trying to get the camaera data into PN. Is it more straight forward with D6?.

Thanks

Unfortunately my issues have not improved, but it's not a big issue as I use iGO here in Hungary. The map of Hungary in D6 is (a very bad word).

But still, TomTom and iGo worked *almost* flawlessy on my device, so I guess I have to wait for an update Smile

About the brand of my card: it's a Kingston 512gb CF card, and haven't had a performance issue with it yet, but I guess I'll check with a different one too.

Thanks guys for the numerous posts to help me!

Thanks Peterkk, I give it a try. I still have an 'old' copy of the Speed Camera Database and if I get on OK I'll take out a subscription, rather than renew my AA Speedcare.

Just got Destinator 6 yesterday - is it just me or does the text look very 'blocky'? It's like as if it wasn't VGA-aware at all. I used to use iGuidance Europe until I heard that they weren't planning any further updates for Europe, so I moved over to Destinator 6 after hearing they had the new Navteq maps covering Ireland. The resolution difference (wrt text and the display) is huge - iGuidance definitely supports VGA but I'm not so sure about Destinator now... Or is it settable via an option?
