What to use in Florida

[fitzybhoy]

I'm looking for a sat nav system to take to Orlando next year.

I've heard that Garmin do the most detailed maps and that Tom Tom only do major routes. Granted this may have changed as this was a couple of years ago I heard this.

I can borrow a tom tom one or I can buy a cheapish sat nav (not looking for anything fancy). I heard that navigo can take tom tom maps. Can anyone confirm this and what version should I be downloading.

Thanks

Navigo with *cough/cough* TomTom installed seems a pretty cost effective way of doing it. I've got mine set up with a few maps on & Florida seems to have more detail than just major routes (all the wee roads off I-Drive, Austrian Court etc, are shown)

Cheers mate, that sounds exactly what I was looking for. I'm staying further down I-drive this time (past seaworld) and it looks like I'll have to be navigating Lake Buena Vista and Kissimmee, both of which I've never been to before.

Defo got as much detail as you need & for approx 50 quid you can't go wrong. I'm going in July & have already added a few places to the Favorites in the US map I have so looks good. Plenty of help on here too if you struggle to get it setup.
If you don't use torrentz or newzgroups I could stick the maps you need on a disk.

Got access to a giganews account. So the maps not be a prob. What version of Tom Tom maps are you using and are they just called Florida or Orlando. I've seen US South East but I think they just have major routes on them

Hope that helps,

Just finished putting a USA & Canada map and speed cams on a TT300 go for a mate, who's going to Florida in June, you will need a minimum 2gb SD card, if you know how to do it and want a copy PM me, also got Updated speed cams for UK.

@ tommygunn (wants to put more than one map on)

After cracking the additional maps you want, just add their folders to the root of the card. Make sure there are no folders within the folder.
Use manage maps to switch between maps.
Good luck,
HH.

I got it on a torrent. Googling North_America_720.1803 gives you a few options & looks like there's a rapidshare link too so you should be able to get it.

Can you store all the maps on the same memory card or do you need a seperate on for each country?

As long as they will fit you can store them all at once. You can change the currently used map set in the settings.

Anyway gonna get one of these I've downloaded the map you listed. Ebuyer are selling v3 of Navigo, so hopefully they will still work.
