I've only used v3.2 for the five miles to work today, but already planning to go back to 2.7 because the final turn instruction is given far too early in rural areas, although it's fine in town.

Even with 2.7, where it's given just before the distance to the turn changes from 0.2 miles to 0.1 it's too early, but with 3.2 it's given as the distance changes from 0.3 miles to 0.2, meaning there are often several turnings before the one intended. In 30mph areas it's given much closer to the turn.

It seems to be assumed that, because there's no speed limit on the rural roads, a car will be travelling at 60mph but, because of the nature of the roads, the maximum safe speed is often less than 30mph. In an unfamiliar area it's easy to take the wrong turning as, when on a narrow, twisting lane, it isn't always safe to take your eyes off the road for a visual check.

So I shall be going back to 2.7 tonight! Sad

Hmm im still on 2.7, still contemplating going up to 3.2, mixed reviews, for a user who doesn do much rural, and has all the POI's (~33000) will i have a problem with 3.2?

my 2.7 works fine, doesnt lock up at all, maybe the odd occurance but seems fine

I have tested again today.

With no POI's 3.2 works brilliantly in map view 3d and track up, in fact I would say it is excellent.

As soon as I have loaded the POI's both map modes totally collapse with white screening/directional arrow going in the wrong direction and massive massive massive!!! refresh lag in 3d mode. I have also noticed strange vertical black lines appearing from top to bottom of the screen, which look like part of the .bmp for the mobile camera icon, so I believe there must be some funny wonders going on.

I did try navigation mode an it was fine.

As I live in N.Ireland I have only got 141 POI's loaded from the Speed Cam database, so it cannot be that my I3 is overstreched.

I note that Almahadeaus appears to be having the same problems as myself.

I cannot understand how some units seem to be fine, while others fall apart!!!

I tried v3.2 in both map and navigation. Map mode was slow to redraw and left white spaces at top. On navigation one or two little problems, mainly with prompts (too early).

so have rolled back to v2.7
