    Destinator 3 UK maps

    Did anyone else notice that the UK and Ireland maps downloaded from Miomaps are missing all the town names in Scotland

    Yeah they have the wrong names for loads of roads too, and a useless POI database. Only thing they're useful for is proving it works before shelling out for the PPC Destinator (75 quid!)

    Are the miomaps as good or worse/better than the UK full destinator 3's ones that you get when you buy the original ppc software?

    Question

    Hi

    I was using the UK map from Miomaps and I was also really frustrated about the Scottish place names, but after reading this thread switched to the original ones.

    However, now when I approach a roundabout instead of getting the usual "continue driving around the circle" directions I get - "Turn Right followed by Turn Left" or other variations, as if it wasn't actually a roundabout. Even though looking at the map it clearly is.

    Any ideas? Have I done something wrong? Is this happening with anyone else? Or do you think my maps are corrupt..?

    BTW I'm testing in and around Fife and Edinburgh, no roundabouts worked...


    Thanks

    David

    I'm running the proper D3 maps and also the D3 uk voice pack that comes with D3 for the pocket pc, I dont have any problems with roundabouts at all. I would suggest also moving the voice pack over from the PDA version to see if the helps.

    cheers
