You mean with GPS, not GPRS

- Voice prompts, I have no idea about. Never had a chance to use them.
- It has a changing line down the bottom (hard to read at a glance) that changes between Estimated time remaining, speed, distance left and another thing or two.

Im also thinking of buying the dell X50V with there 20% off for $578 and also wanted to add GPS to it. Ive never used one before so have no idea how they work, what is the price of the destinator and do u need other hardware as well.

I run it on my laptop.

It's alright, but it tries to turn you into bridges, median strips, solid dividers and cliffs on a regular basis :/

What version are you running? I found that too, until I upgraded to the latest version 3.0.75

The other stupid thing that it tried to do was to tell me to make U-turns at traffic lights/major intersections, but again the latest version has facility to disable that.

The database is also out of date. Mine wants to send me the wrong way down a one way road.
