V6 Australia Maps

[Hillbilly]

RTFM? you gotta be kidding right? most of us are males, we don't read manuals unless........ well, we just don't read it ok lol

Lucky for you then that some of us do and can answer the questions for those that dont or cant. L

I am seeing street names in 3D mode, only the close roads around the car, it's good enough for me
In 2D mode all streets shown have the street name

[R36 DSG]

Nope not getting any street names what so ever. Tried burning another CD but grtting same problem. Reinstalled V6 Maps and street names reappeared. V6 map has also lost all textures with just the single background colour

Have re-downloaded using a different link and burnt to DVD, all working good now with street names and background textures.

Used this one posted by Jords on page 10.

Not sure whether it was the link or the fact I used a DVD instead of a CD-R that got it working properly

Thats identical to my one so I guess its the same 710770688 bytes I used DVD's and both the ones I burnt worked fine.
Background is similar to my Tomtom and streets in 3D are only the ones as I pass them In 2D they are all there.

This is really a firmware question, as apparently that's where it's set, but...

Why is there no way to customise the voices? Some years back, the US comic Doonesbury had a sequence on "celebrity GPS car voices" and what a hot seller they'd be.

Personally, I'd get a kick out of Darth Vader telling me that my lack of turning right at the round-about is disturbing. But *anything* than those bland Oxford English voices would be preferable. Or Gandalf telling me that a driver never arrives early nor late, but always when he means to, so friggin get a move on!

Has nobody figured out how to hack the systems for this? Unless the text2voice is all machine generated, as opposed to pre-recorded strings, then some brilliant soul should have figured out how to upload different voices. Provided they want to go through the work of recording it all.

There is an English Male voice in 4120 Firmware but due to the limitations of the great VW empire nothing else is available

Have just upgraded to V6 maps. My upgrade did not come with a manual. So I now have speed limits and the satnav also has GPS car speed.

Does the system allow you somehow to set a speed warning linked to the two - or is that something only cheap handheld units can do?

[robinb]

the satnav also has GPS car speed.

Really? I have never seen that! Did you perform some trick to get that displayed?
