Hi,
I have sent the link to this thread to a couple of Navman employees, so they have it already. Also, SmartST 2005 has surfaced, on paper at least, as can be seen here. Having said that, I don't know if any of the "wishes" are going to make it into this or any future release of SmartST. _________________ Tim
58) Fix the bug in the speed display in navigation mode. At present, the speed value is displayed in increments of 3-4 km/h, while the speed shown on the GPS status screen has the correct resolution (i.e 1 km/h). The speed value should be the same in all screens.
59) Show the same information in the north-up-screen as in the 3D-screen. In some situations it's handy to use the north-up-screen while driving and then you want the same information to appear.
60) Improve the next-turn icons in the safety screen. I recall this was promised for V3 but there was no difference in the end...
61) Either remove the volume setting function or improve it. Today its function is identical to the volume control in Windows Mobile itself and doesn't make anyone happy. I would like to see a feature where the voice guidance in SmartST could be set separately from the Windows Mobile System sound level. I could then listen to music in the Media Player while driving and receive voice commands at a chosen volume. Best would be if the system sounds were muted (or lowered) when a navigation command came up - the way a built-in navigation system mostly works.
62) Fix the replay-trip-log function or remove it. At present, the button is dead _________________ TomTom GO720T: App ver 8.351(9982/090518), OS:315187, GPS v1.20, Boot 5.5120

63) Simplify the selection of custom POIs. It's just too time consuming having to go via the general POI item, selecting 'My POI', selecting the right POI file etc. It should appear as a separate menu item in the Destination menu, just like the Favourites. _________________ TomTom GO720T: App ver 8.351(9982/090518), OS:315187, GPS v1.20, Boot 5.5120

Tim, are you sure that the SW release that they refer to as SmartST 2005 isn't the same as SmartST V3? The features listed in the press release shows nothing we haven't seen already in V3...
Dont know the if you have had these before but for me what desperately needs to be done is:
1) Better map data-I am fed up with being directed down one way streets and closed roads.
2) More flexible avoid areas eg. one way avoid areas. This is one of the problems in the town nearest me I keep being directed the wrong way up a one way street but I can't put an avoid area in as on the return journey the route is perfectly valid.(and yes I have reported it)
3) The destination address search panel is a joke! Try looking for Stoke on Trent, it will pretend it doesn't exist unless you happen to know the postcode. Otherwise you have to find it by scrolling in and out of maps which is too painful for words. _________________ Rgds,

(65) In addition to the above...
Provide a fourth column in the POI Editor to specify an area (town or city) so that when searching for a MY POI you can narrow down the search to a specific area. At the moment the 'area' box is greyed out for MY POI's and cannot be used. _________________ Ian.

66 ) Show all the journey information on the screen at the same time instead of forcing the user to toggle between Speed, Time, HDG, DTG, ETA and TTG. You need the stylus (or sharp finger tips) to change unit of information, which can be quite dangerous when you're driving.
67 ) Include HDG information in the 3D view (or even better, implement a compass function). At the moment you can only view HDG from the safety screen.
68 ) Change the routing algoritm in such a way that it uses the road name (if there is one) in the calculation. This is to prevent me from getting turn instructions while staying on the same road. Turn instructions shall ONLY occur when I need to LEAVE a specific road. The current excess of information (or even wrong information) can cause a lot of confusion. The problem seems to be the way the program handles certain intersections. I haven't tried any other navigation programs to compare how they treat these situations. _________________ TomTom GO720T: App ver 8.351(9982/090518), OS:315187, GPS v1.20, Boot 5.5120

Two more from me :
In my view this one should be top of everyone's list - Make next version(s) available to existing users as an upgrade and at a discounted price :D
e.g. Anyone updating from Version 1 to Version 3 would have had to shell out the full price and then throw away the Version 1 software discs ( I have enough coasters now thanks )
and ...
When not following a programmed route have the ability to :
Select map orientation to the direction of travel, and / or the 3d view.
V.3 only allows North up map to be displayed when not following a programmed route. 8) _________________ iPhone SE, TomTom Go 5000, Garmin Zumo XT.

Not quite. You can follow a programmed route in 2D, North Up by pressing ESC when in 2D mode. It flips between a static map and a following one. Still not 3D though.

Simon,
Don't think I explained myself too well and you haven't grasped what I would like
With the GPS turned on but NO route programmed in, then the only map option I seem to have is in 2D North Up mode
I would like the other map modes, such as the 2D one orientated to direction travel, and the 3D view to be available when no programmed route is being followed - these views ARE available when following a programmed route _________________ iPhone SE, TomTom Go 5000, Garmin Zumo XT.

Aah, I see the problem. I use an icn510 which allows u to do these things but I see you're using the software with a different unit altogether. It works on the 510!
69 ) Enable showing of speed when no route has been set. Why not replace the "next turn" icon on the safe screen with a bigger speed reading in cases when no route has been set? This way you could use your system nicely as a more precise speedometer. Just a thought
By the way, isn't there time for a SP2 soon? Some of the things mentioned in this thread should, in my opinion, be considered as bugs rather than improvements and should be fixed with a service pack. _________________ TomTom GO720T: App ver 8.351(9982/090518), OS:315187, GPS v1.20, Boot 5.5120
