I would love to know if there are some map heuristic information stored on the dvd re average speeds etc achieved under normal conditions... or perhaps the navigation system uses an assumed delay factor per km driven... have been very curious on this point.

I find the places of interest by location or by destination to be very easy to use, and have never wanted to find one by name only. One thing that is inconsistent though is that when you are entering a destination it prompts you for City/Postcode, though there seems to be no way to enter a postcode, as there isn't an option to enter digits... anyone know how to do this, or is this a bug/ Australian pecurliarity?

I'm pretty sure I've entered a destination by postal code on mine.

Although my 90kph problem still persists
