Aldi have got a spacknav in.

http://www.medion.de/ms/aldi/md96920/uk/flash.html

It's £150 quid, has Trafficmaster, camera locations, maps for what
looks
like most of western europe etc. Good value or an oddball piece of
****e?


In particular, has anyone got any idea how I'd go about updating the
camera
database?


No idea about that unit in particular, but for most things Sat Nav
related:

They used customers/public to build up a database for free, now have the
cheek to charge for it. Try a torrent site instead, everything is for free.

You seem too thick to use a search engine. Your abusive language
reflects your lack of intelligence unfortunately. I do wish your
parents would put your
computer where they could supervise your use of it.


Shut the **** up you worthless pile of monkey scrotum skin flakes.

As usual with cheapo sat-navs, the first thing to check is if you
can get map updates. If you can't get any, forgettaboutit.

But you'll be getting a next generation one in a couple of years

with new maps pre-loaded

while possible, the chance of getting unmapped roads is small


It isn't. The mews I live in - despite being the same place for a good
25 years - only appeared by name on Garmin maps a couple of years ago.

Also, new roads are being built, one way systems change etc...

Coming from someone who clearly cannot format a post properly, nor
understand correct use of white space, nor even correctly insert the
humble comma, that is a *tad* rich, if you don't mind me saying.

And if you do mind me saying, then tough ****.

You strike me as the sort of person who has a collection of their own
belly-button fluff, catalogued in date order.

In case you didn't understand that, and it is possible, given your
marked lack of brain cells, that was me calling you a thick, boring
****.

HTH.

Only you could live on a road that's broken.

My position was (and, to be honest, largely remains) one of complete ambiguity.

It's Medion, so it's bound to (a) be ****e and (b) last about as long as
a chocolate watch in high summer.

I've been tempted by various Medion bits over the years, particularly
when I worked in Krautland. Every single one blew up in some way, it was
a toos up which was more spectacular, the USB scanner or the Laptop.

Laptop probably that had sparks and burning smells.

The cheap Garmin I bought for my wife to use is good enough, has a few
niggles but the support is excellent and it's compatible with my much
older handheld Garmin GPS.

Oh watch out or don't take on trust "most of Western Europe", many cheap
satnavs don't have street level maps for "most of Europe" just maps of
trunk roads and motorways. Check before you buy.
