Customer Review

The decision to buy this device end of August 2009, I have not regretted at all times.

No more cable clutter, class bracket that allows to remove the Navi without the hassle of unplugging for a break from driving and just as quickly and easily deploy again before proceeding.

On my journey on holiday to Spain then I could fully convince the device. The journey was stress-free, the route guidance is absolutely free of errors, the Lane Assistant a great help, the speed camera warning as (in France alone, it realized almost 20 speed cameras that it all about 1km previously announced and then shut counted to zero), the predicted arrival time was realistic and Corrected reliably when inserted breaks.

In Spain read also from the garage out drive off immediately, thanks to the storage of the last perfeken standpoint. I was not previously used in my last Traffic Assist 7914. Here I drove frequently only times without orientation through foreign terrain before the device reciting times.
The satellite is the Z205 immediately.

The charging time when switching is substantially improved and additionally quickly possible, where you put the unit only in the standby mode. (Power consumption, I could not festellen hereby)

TMC-Pro so far I could not test, however it has shown me any construction site at which no traffic jams, however, were present and I therefore can not say anything further report. Good, but I find that one can decide freely by various options, if and how you want to avoid the traffic jam. I also like the alternative routes and the POI feature that has me already allows in vacation planning, on the road to indicate the tank and rest stops as an intermediate target and thus we always knew exactly when the next break is. A fine thing when man has children.
About POI You also can learn, for example, addresses and phone numbers, and can even directly with one click, so you want and a Bluetooth-enabled phone on the Z205 is logged call.

The voice command works great. Especially, because the place and road can be announced in one piece, no matter in what order. Too bad that you still have to confirm on the touch screen. That's not really a hands-free function and would be an improvement proposal for the future worthy. Yes / No per Accustik would be possible, right?

As an improvement I would also have to report to the software manufacturer that toll booths, for example in France, could be announced shortly before the approach and ideally even what one has to pay. Then the fumble for the bills at the cash registers would be lost and the waiting times, especially to reduce in the high season, to a minimum.

Would not be bad if the Bluetooth function improved and a Sync function would be installed so that, for example, the phonebook or the contacts of each registered cell phones are accepted.

And a voice input of these contacts in the hands-free function of the phone mode, would also be something for the future.

Since I would be willing to spend a few more Euros.

If I may ever call a shortcoming, then the slightly choppy voices, no matter what is chosen, where you can listen to the sentences were only assembled. But they are to understand well and I can therefore live with that.

However a star has the disastrous Seviceleistung the Dutch software firm cost:

It must be urgently rectified, love Oranje!

The package was a voucher by which one has the possibility to get for 20 euros, according to circumstantial one finishing the invoice and the voucher for the Netherlands within 60 days a one-time map update, provided you have not already the newest version.
When Falk you get this update guarantee the way for free and easy for quick downloading on the Internet, without invoice! (Why is there the serial number on my device?)

Moreover makes this "unique" update no sense because you a discounted subscription for two years and four updates gets within 30 days of purchase, via the Content Manager to download. (Rates should now, were I think 30 euros and after the 30 days 99 Euro)

Here !!!!! and therefore now the star trigger, has also not working. I have given up attempts, exasperated after two weeks of Use and drove without updating on vacation. Although I was able to select the update (for GES. Europe) and add to shopping cart and I was also the preferential price granted, but at the box office, the case was terminated again by a system failure of the server to to with the comment to try again later ,

Just bad and out of date.
Otherwise unrestricted recommendation to buy, tips device!
