you should have recieved your code. I show that it was sent out to you 21+ hours ago.

The reason there was a slight lag in getting you your registration key is that you placed the order on New Years day. So there was really only a single day lag in there.

i realized that the non-ascii characters are not shown on the navigation instructions which makes streetdeck's lock and feel very unprofessional and unusable trying to read e.g. german streetnames with a lot of öüa and ß.

Keep in mind, StreetDeck was initially written with North America in mind. The Lite version that you purcahsed is simply the same software but without the Navigation data present. We had a lot of folks request this since they already had the map data from other sources (work being the primary).

by when can we expect to have those special characters being displayed? months is not an answer for paying customers. this is a main failure of functionality not mentioned in this thread until yesterday. i bought the software before! unhappy customer!

Our developers are working their tails off currently to get requested functionality working. This will be put in the list of to-dos.

1. although you can specify kilometers as units instead of miles, the speed definitions are still in mph

This will be put on the list as well.

2. english voices for german streets are very funny. you should have the option to speak everything in german (driving instructions plus street names)

Since you purchased the lite version, there are no voices included. You can choose your own voices to use with the software if you like.

Quote:
3. (off topic) please add a estimated time of arrival and current speed label on the panel. it would also be nice to have a beep or warning if you are over speed limit (as iguidance is doing).

This will be added to the list as well.

Quote:
IMO the navigation screen/functionality still needs a lot of improvement compared to other carPC frontends/navigation software (roadrunner, iguidance, destinator). the reason why i decided for streetdeck is the integration of modules rather than doing configurations for hours or days until something works (trying to integrate iguidance into road runner with large buttons and on-screen-keyboard was a nightmare).

Thanks for your input.
