Yes, the format is text-based.
Navicore also provides software (Windows) for this.

Does anyone know where I can get a hold of the CR-86 car mount?

I already have HH-12.

I have been using this kit for a few days now, and I have to say it's pretty good. It's not as good as my Garmin Nuvi, however it does have it's benefits.

Pros:
The separate GPS receiver allows me to put the receiver outside on the window ledge and then sit inside my home and plan/play with the navigation routes.

The speech patterns are some of the best I've heard.

With my license key, I have a lifetime subscription, and I am able to download every country/region at no additional cost. Amazing!

While mounted to my car, the Tablet dims if you are stationary for longer than your preset time and re-illuminates when you star moving again. This saves battery life and the hassle of turning the unit off and on all the time.

The battery life of the included GPS receiver is amazing. I have only charged it once and it's still going going strong after almost a week.

The mounting kit is pretty flexible allowing for numerous vewing angles.

I like how you can search the points of interest that are near where you are, or "anywhere".


Cons:
It was very hard to get set up. It literally took me two days to figure everything out. There was a bug that kept the measurment in metric until I downloaded the fix for it.

No text to speech

It sometimes takes a minute or more to lock onto the satellite.

I don't care for the lime green background on the main screen.

You have to save your home as a favorite. You can't just declare a home base address.

The points of interest leave a little to be desired.

Customer service was very helpful, however they are CET, and if I call them when they are closed (most of my normal busines hours) the calls kept saying they could not be completed as dialed. Maybe it was just a fluke, but I did finally get through.


Overall, I am pretty satisfed with this unit. I don't know if I would have paid $200 for it knowing what I know now, but it is a pretty decent option to have if it's a second unit or if you just have to use your internet tablet for navigation. I guess having a Garmin has spoiled me.

Hope this helps someone out.

Hi, Where did you download the fix for the metric measurments?

TIA

The fix is downloading the Todd Belcher voice. After a powercycle, it will fix itself, and you are free to use whatever voice you choose.
