Navman Mapping: The London Congestion Charge Extention

Morrowgti3 · Occasional Visitor Joined: Jul 28, 2006 Posts: 2

Hi, I'm a lonely ICN550 (Costco bought) user. I've read numerous threads criticising Navman's inability to update its maps (unless by any chance a new update has been released in 2007 Rolling Eyes

).

My query is whether there is a way to map the western extention as my 550 happily attempts to guide me through this area blissfully unaware of any mapping developments....It's a costly experience trust me!!!

Please is there a solution that I could utilise? I actually like my unit and would like to continue with it. Is it a vain hope? Should I join the Tom Tom in-crowd?? Confused

Thanks in advance for any help or constructive advice you can give.

Welcome to the forum

Assuming you are trying to avoid the congestion charge area I remember the icn 550 having an avoid area feature. Why not drag an avoid area block over cerntral london. Hence forth it will navigate you around the CC.

oh! I thinks the 550 takes poi's, so could download the latest CC poi database from here

Someone please correct me if I wrong.

Thanks Dom I will attempt it but from what I remember thePOI's are for Tom Tom and Garmin, noy Navman. I will test their compatibility though.

My 530 runs Garmin POI with no modification!! And the extended CC area is on and working..

Why is it called the Garmin POI's why not Garmin/Navman POI's this would save a lot of confusion and endless queries to the Moderators?
