Navi beginners: as much information!

Undoubtedly, the 6110 Navigator is a top device. Well, most of the benefits of the system have been adequately described in other reviews and do not need to be repeated here. However, there are a few quirks that have made me as Navi novice one hand, and as convinced Nokia users on the other hand several times on the palm.

The package appears to vary according to price, distributors and country. Any case rather expensive accessory parts were with me some other Nokia among others as headset, car charger and a very practical support for the windshield while. For this, a big plus.

Apparently running on the device only route 66. Be careful with offers of other cards, allegedly for this phone. This does not work or is only for tinkerers.

In my extensive rehearsal period both in German cities and in the countryside, I am impressed by the level of detail, but also had to realize that the map data with 2006 levels is not exactly new, also contains weaknesses, gaps and errors that also in 2006 as such, could be detected.

In pedestrian (= cyclists) - mode the matter quickly reaches its limits. Many closed to car routes, but especially subways etc. simply missing.

The map of Germany was pre-installed and can be used indefinitely without cost to navigate. However, additional tickets must be purchased rather expensive countries manner. Here, any potential buyer should first carefully check! Who travels around a lot in Europe or the Navi times just wants to use in the New Year's Eve is fast a few hundred euros los !!

Outside of Central Europe and USA also has the maps available at Route 66 on glaring gaps. From Turkey to Morocco, the majority of Mediterranean countries include nothing but a white spot.
I had before buying simply have no idea that I buy software from a company that simply does not offer maps of Turkey, Israel and North Africa. Perhaps my mistake, but at least very unfortunate and a big minus!

The purchase, download, manage, and especially the successful install maps may not be for everyone. For me it was not working anyway right away, and one of the cards purchased expensive is locked as before. Route 66 can obviously sell, but how to correct problems in the application of products? None. Online recognizes Route 66 that I have, for example, already bought the France map and do not need to download again. Nice. Unfortunately, this is however already everything the system detects it and I did not succeed until now to unlock this card and to use together with Germany and Benelux.
A big minus for this and a whole point deduction in the overall assessment.

The provided memory card is too small for further maps. The deliverable 2GB card (should mitkaufen directly, if you want, for example, also use the MP3 functions) comes in light of the amount of data in a few countries also purchased add to their limits. Then fiddling with several of these tiny cards is required. The management of the cards on the PC is time consuming and does not run smoothly. Here the device has completely missed my purchase target despite consultations with 4 different sellers. A big minus and hence my rather moderate overall.

Warning: Many traders have themselves not complete transparency, in some cases even no idea of ​​the equipment and its use.

For most reviewers seem to find the GPS location within 1-3 minutes. I can not confirm, unfortunately. But I have not yet figured out whether it, on the weather or to the many other Navis approximately lying around on the device, that sometimes takes 10 minutes.

I can also not confirm a battery life of 4.5 hours when the Navi and illuminated display. After 2 hours, is then final.

For phone: This menu is not available in less user-friendly than I have been used to from Nokia is due to the many commendable ways. Puzzling why the manufacturer in contacts memory has built into the input mode for the name, the word recognition system (and I have not yet figured out how to make the disabled), because apart from Mueller and Schmitz knows the course hardly name ...
