Hi Oyvind,

I am afraid it is not a simple modification for me to just post a simple guide, I may release a version like that in the near future if I find the time to work on it.

Comment on Intellinav All-in-one Navigation by Chicagodesi

I just received this GPS unit in the mail yesterday and the first impressions of it are very positive. The box is very professionally printed and packed, and the unit feels nice and solid and well constructed. The maps are preloaded on a 1GB SD card. After you charge it for about 2-3 hours and turn the unit it, it will take about 15-20 min to acquire a satellite signal and make sure that you are near a window. Afterwards, it usually takes about 30 seconds to a minute to re-acquire the GPS signal. I set my home location and i just started driving around. The screen is very bright and crisp, and the female voice guidance is sharp and clear. I started driving around and i told it to Go Home and then i tried my best to get lost. And each time i went past where it told me to turn, it only took about 5 seconds or even less for it to re-calculate another route home.

Honestly, you have got to have the Text to Speech feature. It makes a HUGE difference when the voice tells you to “Make a right in 200 ft at Randall Road” rather than “Make a right in 200 feet”. The maps are very accurate, at least for the Chicago area and I coudl not be happier with this unit. It’s a great deal and a must have, especially having the text to speech feature where it reads out the street names is simply wonderful. All in all, a great unit with great battery life and a very nice simple easy to use interface which anyone can get used to very quickly.

I have an US version, version 5.0.0 Amn, and it still contains lots of bugs, inaccurate maps, giving faulty guidance, and can’t save an address as it is supoosed to be (i.e., saving 46560, but becoming 46723 during navigation). I agree with Pocket Lint that this kit should be avioded by all cost. It might get you into troubles if you trust it.
