OK, Used a friends PDA with TTN 5 (pirated copy) on yesterday. Here's a couple of problems I encountered.

    Had a good fix on seven or eight satalites, but say after going under a bridge and losing them momentarily TTN 5 would keep losing its way, recalulate and ask you to go in the complete opposite direction, seconds later, same again recalculate etc. This would go on for minutes, luckily I new where I was because certainly TTN certainly did not. Eventually it picked up on the right track again and took me where I had planned. If I had been using TTN 5 for real, I would have been totally .I wondered if this was because of the GPS receiver which is a Haicom wired version with a baud rate of 4800. It was as if the GPS receiver was not feeding the signal fast enought for TTN to get a fix.

    The excellent speed (sorry saŁety) camera database was installed and could seen on the screen, however what was a major concern was there was no warning unless a route was planned. This meant that if you used TTN 5 with no route planned, which I do many times, you do not get a warning of potential cameras. Now, it was set to warn of POI on route, and I need to investigate if turning this off will warn you if you do not have a route planned. This I will examine when he lends me his PDA again.


A bit of a ramble, but in conclusion apart from the 2 major upsets above, I really liked TTN 5.

Alan

First post here - been lurking for a while.

But is this for real - one of the major selling features for me was the full 7 digit postcode facility!!!!!

remember that people are using a pirated copy as no genuine final product is available yet. Therefore you can expect features to be missing or for there to be rough edges. I wish people would stop picking holes in TT5 until they have at least see nthe version TT ship and not that distributed by the pirates.

The full retail version does have 7 digit post code.....

I have been informed that a release made by some very naughty peeps on the internet has omited to include one file that is needed for the 7 digit post code lookup to work... but I have also been informed that this file and instructions as to where it should go is available.

I pass this info on just as a view of whats happening in the big wide world and in no way support or condone geting stuff from non official sources.

no information on illegal copies of TT5 were being given, just information on how to correct the missing postcodes error!
