Free up some space by moving the Europe main roads to a folder on your pc.

Move all the extra voices that you will never need as well

go here for loads of POI's - http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/tomtompoi.php

Yeah, just grab a bigger SD card and fill it up with all the extra's you need. I have one and it's bloody great, only prob with original card is you can't put postcode lookup on it as it's too small.

A 256MB SD card would be more than enough. £20ish

Yeah the site that RS2000CUSTOM pointed you at is the main one for your poi's, I'm always on there.

Absolutely top quality piece of kit. I sold my Origin B2 to buy one as it does evertything that the Origin did with no subscription charges and the advantage of sat-nav.

Plus you can remove it from the car. I'm always using it - driving to somewhere I don't know is an absolute joy now, no more biting them nails as you approach mega roundabouts!

Happy to help

When you get used to using the TT then you will find some cameras are no longer there etc

Add a POI when you near the site of a new camera or delete a defunct or misplaced site.

I love the McDonalds and KFC POI's personally - lol

You can get pre loaded software on the 256 SD cards on ebay mate, with all postcodes, mcdonalds, etc etc... on them pre installed.

Does not need installation as it mounts on a window suction cup and plugs in ciggy lighter.

Very easy to transfer between vehicles and remove at night to stop Billy Burglar

As for "pre-loaded" sd cards !

Why bother as the software and POI's are free anyway ?

I never like paying for my software if I can help it !

Just thought someone might have had a go making it look more like a factory fit.

agreed actually RS2000custom.... no need to buy a pre loaded, when I have the link for the Post codes etc already!

Essex, Dave might have made his look custom in a mount or something, but to be honest, there is no need at all.. the way it mounts looks alright to me anyway Can angle and tilt to suit

Mine makes the noise off Star Trek when the Enterprise comesunder attack -lol

Loads of different sounds can be added to POI's

For those not in the know

POI's = Points of interest ie, camera, Maccy Dee's, KFC Pertol stations etc etc etc

On the POI site is a file to replace certain sounds with words, mine now says "Gatso 30" when approaching a camera in a 30 zone.

Brilliant!
