Hi all, just traded in the trusty old i3 for a Nuvi 310, I was wondering if is possible to add the Karen Australian voice, also it seems to me that the i3 gave a much more realistic ETA, I guess the units use some sort of average speed calculation, is it possible to alter this setting. Thanks in advance. Mark

The MDPNA100 has been working ok with Medion Navigator 4. Can anyone give me any advise on this matter, or am I just missing something ??? Thanks Ian

It doesn't need bluetooth or anything else fancy but needs UK and Europe street level mapping with good routing software (preferably with option for restricted speed as I tow a caravan sometimes).
