[HOW TO] Voice Commands List
Here I think

Bullson · 13th May 2008, 19:44

A question, Can the Civic satnav receive traffic information (TCM) and can you load it with safety camera data ??

TTDegs · 13th May 2008, 23:33

yes, and no, respectively

note - TCM answer (yes) is for UK, hopefully a fellow owner from Sweden will 100% confirm for you

My Two cents

Sat Nav FOR: Display options, voice control (especially find nearest.....), zooming, split screen, ease of use and configuration.

Sat Nav Against: Only major street names shown, Logic and calculations of estimated time for trip waaayyyy off (my old Tom Tom was uncannily accurate with this to be almost spooky) , Maps waaayyy of in Southern Ireland with all its new road construction.

Plus points :

Large screen easily visible
No fiddly windscreen mounts and trailing wires
TMC
Voice control (optional)
Instructions via muted radio speakers
Speed sensitive volume

Minus points :

Dodgy routing (but it does eventually get you there)
Questionable POI database
Inability to add user POI databases (especially safety cameras)
Rubbish 'user set' icons

I said 'find nearest pub' and it offered a pub in Wales - a couple of hundred miles away. I also said 'find nearest Bank' Only a couple of high street names were loaded, and despite I was in Warwick, it said my nearest bank was in Birmingham! It works ok on 'find nearest car park' and 'nearest restaurant' finds a competent list. An accountant friend was dismayed to discover a rival restaurant next door to one he accounts for was on the database. I assume that retail organisations have to pay to be loaded into the database. Thats why my nearest pub is miles away!

"Find nearest decent POI database"

electric · 16th May 2008, 17:47

I find the 2008 Version 3.22 is not at all up to date. Just today it knew nothing about a whole shopping area (Waitrose, B&Q etc) at Shoeburyness in Essex. It just had me driving in open fields with no roads.
