I think a few members have them on here im sure fluff has one. i dont think they are that bad and you could always get some different gps software if its not too good

i have one of them - do u have the one with the flip phone style gps antenna on it?

i have one of the older types ( normal pda style) and have had no probs with it. I got rid of the bundled route finder software and got TomTom (available from certain websites cough, cough ) on and it works fine - im happy with it!

[mudzs]

thanks for the replys ,i have the MDPPC250 aint taken it out of the box yet as it has one of them seals if you break it you keep it ,so thought i would await more feedback from you guys.do i have to pay a monthly charge for the gps thingy ,its stating to look a tad confusing as i can only just work a computer.

[Brettster]

no there's no monthly payment all you need is a clear sight of the sky and your away :)

[nwc100]

There is nothing wrong with the Medion works very well for my other half uses it all week between London and Edingburgh Glasgow Strathclyde manchester has never let her down yet. The software on it is pretty good too although im sure as with any other nav maps there are the odd mistakes in it.

You can open it if it came from from Aldi as they offer a gauaranteed 12 months or longer returns policy with it.

If you keep it make sure t o get the POIwarner for it as this will help you out nicely.

If you have any questions feel free too ask, Nick

[mudzs]

thanks nick ,whats a POIwarner and sadley it comes from Halfords

[peter026]

Point of Interest,

You can download the latest gatso and mobile camera sights and programme the sat nav to give you an audible warning when one is close by

:D

[mudzs]

thanks peter ,i have been loking at the tom tom portable device that you can take out of one car and put straight into another ,wondering wether i am better of with this one as it is only £50 more than the one i have :duh:

[Brettster]

For the extra 50 quid i would change it, you'll find the maps on tomtom to be much better and the overall time it takes to find the satalites to be much quicker on the tomtom go

I say swap it :)

[peter026]

I've the TomTom go,havn't used it much, but my son used it to go to Old Trafford yesterday,His opinion, not bad but told him to turn right at some traffic lights where there wasn't a right turn,and then sent him round the ring road when he got to Manchester

It also doesn't know the shortcuts around our way :D

[nwc100]

I say kep the medion the navteq maps on it are some of the best there are at the moment,

If you want to check it out for yourself look at POCKET GPS SITE

The POI warner will set you back about £30 for the two programs you need but well worth it does basically the same as a road angel but you can add hotels BK's McD's petrol stations everything well worth the money.

So keep the medion get the POI warner and spend 20 on some beers in the pub!!

Nick

[mudzs]

:D thanks for the advice nick ,how easy is it to take the medion in and out of cars ,has it got a bulit in arial or do i have to but another one for the other car

[Rob]

its easy to swap between cars - goes into the cig lighter, the gps antenna just sits on the dash, takes 2 mins to swap it over mate.

all depends what u want to do really - if ALL u want it a sat nav device then i say go for the tomtomGO, my mate has one and its great, every now and then it goes a bit wrong ( once in a blue moon) all u need to do is do a reset and its fine that takes 1 min for it to start up again.

if u want something more than sat nav unit, ie a proper handheld then maybe look for another brand as the medion doesnt have Bluetooth etc, but as i say its all aabout what u want at the end of the day.

for me i am happy with the medion, it does what i want it to do - all i want is a GPS sat nav ( the tomtomGO is just short of £600 here BTW)
