Two questions about Mio C510/710

Alex,

don'r know what else to suggest.

The Fast flyover is not very fast. I'd hate to simulate a really long journey. I have found the route Itinerary more useful for checking what's been calculated.

The printed documentation supplied with my C510E is rather inadequate. I'm surprised that they don't supply in the box a printed vesrion of the online manuals.

I can't get it to work either Alex, and I'm doing the same as you - just be sure you're using the menu button on the right hand side of the unit, as that seems to have been a common problem.

The only thing I can think of is if it's a software issue - rronaldson do you have miomap v3.0 or 3.11 on your unit?

Thanks guys.

I've got 3.11 on mine.

As you say rronaldson, maybe fast flyover just isn't that fast and I was expecting domething more.

cheers

So you actually have fast flyover working with 3.11, Alex?
Guess thats my theory down the toilet.

Thanks Alex -

If you don't notice any difference then I doubt its working - it must be a BIT quicker, surely.

Maybe its just an issue with C710's using miomap v3.11?

Anyway, I tried going from Buckingham Palace to 10 Downing St POI's, using Car/Fastest and it took 3 minutes and 5 seconds using both flyovers.
If anybody else has as much time to spare as I have, and is as sad as me then post your fastest flyover times here with your model no and miomap version!

There's a bug with it, thanks for the "bug-report". Only way for fast flyover is to remove this line from the sys.txt: "slow_sim=1". It'll "fly" about 500-1000 km/h without voice guidance - no need to time it, quite a difference.
The fast flyover, apart from eye-candy, was meant to check your route a little further, let's say, at a red lamp. For overview there're better ways, like "fit to screen", and the itiner as well.

:o
Has anyone tried a Motorola Razor V3 with the C710 or C510E, I have had a look at the list on the Mio site, but it only shows about a dozen phones.
Cheers
Jeff :P
