:thumbsup: Thats great... :rolleyes: I almost forgot about it.!!! :ko: The pouch is ok with me... NAP.

Can you source a good buy for the Samsung Tab 7"?
I might also want to get the new 10.8" with Honeycombe but first, can you find a very good price as the 7" is fast being replaced by the 8" and the 10,8" this summer if not earlier over there?

Dear all bros, just got the Ecoroute HD yesterday. Tried to connect to my 3790 but it seems cant detect it, so I tried to update the software using webupdate. but then I am getting something below in webupdate. Did you guys experienced this before? Had no problem in seeing the unit from web dashboard and also mapsource. Anyone can help?

If I am not wrong, it only works on USA/Europe sets firmware ... localized 3790T will not be recognized ...

Seems that the update (with some 3rd party app helps) works....maybe I will try with more in depth experimentation later....

lost the Media player capability though...but then, I dont need that. I always wonder why a GPS navigator needs to be able to play MP3, it appears that this only applicable for Asian region somehow....

It has to do with the new generation I take it who walks and crawl all about on sideways to subways and buses or trams or feeling plain bored that music must go along wherever they roam about.... :lol:

Hence the need to have the MP3 be readily available if & when and also, many believe a one unit for all purposes esp inside the vehicle. But is handy nevertheless for any playback of verbal reports or notes when away on the road. :-'
