I love seeing these blanket statements based on 1 experience. It makes the forum so much more exciting.

Actually the kit is handled by a company called "LetsTalk". In fact it tells you during the ordering process that you are being redirected to LetsTalk servers. It was pretty clear to me when I ordered...

This order is subject to the LetsTalk.com Terms and Conditions which you accepted at the time of order placement. To view the details of those Terms and Conditions, go to: http://www.nokia.letstalk.com/receip...?ordId=6622760
I also see it is now cheaper on LetsTalk's site $199 >> http://www.letstalk.com/product/prod...htm?prId=32775

I wonder if they ship to Canada!

Also: I'm sorry to here about the Vermont experience jdr93. It sounds like a map problem for your area and I hope Navicore updates it soon. I live 52 miles west of Philadelphia and travel to various locations during the day including the city as well as the surrounding Pennsylvania Dutch country side.
Lacking water features on your maps baffles me. I was about to report that my maps not only show rivers, creeks and lakes, but also the small retaining ponds found on the farms I pass.
Naming street names does not bother me so much because it shows on the bottom blue bar the street I'm on and the top green bar, the street I'm to turn on or exit to take.


(Schuylkill river along the right I76w is the road.)


(Between the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers. Even shows the piers and inlets.)


(Upcoming Exit and street name on top green bar)

...I don't think I would want Sarah or Todd waisting my attention while they try to pronounce "Schuylkill Expressway" or "Nesquehoning Street". I would rather glance up or down and match the spelling to the street sign I'm looking for.

But I'm easy like that. I'm just glad the thing does something this well with out a net connection. It also gives me an answer for the people who ask "What the heck is that thing you're caring with you?" rather than having to explain a concept that may be beyond their imagination.
