5) Route Guidance – there are a multitude of downloadable voices in different languages and a choice of if you would like to be guided by a female/male voice. If you miss a turning or overule the instruction, you’ll soon hear “Route Re-calculation” and you’ll very soon be prompted with your next instruction. Generally, I’ve found that you get a voice instruction in good time and then again approx. 40yds before the turning.
6) Safety Camera Warnings – a VERY useful feature 
in any SatNav system!!! You’ll get prompted with two beeps and a verbal announcement of the speed camera/limit.
7) Another nice feature of route guidance is that even when you’ve driven out of satellite reception, e.g. on my way home from London in the Blackwall Tunnel (writing this on my great PsiXpda, PLUG PLUG!) the moving pointer which represents your position keeps moving automatically, predicting your position.
TIPS:
Pressing ‘1’ toggles between Day and Night display mode;
Pressing ‘2’ lets you save a particular location;
Pressing ‘3’ takes you to the search menu, where you can look for a particular category, e.g. cash point, petrol station, restaurant etc;
Pressing ‘4′ repeats the last verbal instruction;
Pressing ‘7′ allows you to ‘add a new route point’, e.g. stopping off for lunch or a fuel refill on route;
Pressing ‘8′ shows traffic updates.
