Do these things tell you if there's major road works going on? with
diversions in progress so you can avoid on the long journey. :-P

Ones like the Aldi unit don't, but if you have TomTom with their
subscription service it does, and traffic, to navigate you round it.


AIUI this unit probably uses WinCE OS and hasn't got the ability to use
Tom Tom for a PPC. So you're stuck with the s/w it comes with.

I 'fixed' one for a bloke .. (he was plugging the power / charger lead
into the earphone socket sigh), when powering up it took quite a
long time and from memory it looked like a Windoze box. Not sure I'd
want to trust my journey to Windoze anything but .. ? ;-)

All the best ..
