I bought this 920 two weeks ago and I am trying to familiarize myself with the device because in 2 wks I'll try my luck in Europe.. I hope I don't get lost! )
I went with my kids to Niagara Falls, and I said what a heck, why not try it across the border - goat island is 5 minutes away.. once I crossed the border, the (computer) voice stopped, and I had only arrow indications.. it managed to find the park on the goat island (I had an itinerary) and I had good enough (visual) direction to find it without problems. When we left.. boy! it was crapping out, it didn't know where it was, and it was like in some kind of loop, recalculating every minute or so.. once I crossed into Canada, everything returned to normal...
What worried me most was not that it lost its 'cool', but that the voice stopped talking across the border! what a heck, I looked for a setting to deal with that, but couldn't find any.. I don't think it is normal to do that - I mean if it does it now, how about in Europe??
Maybe I am making an obvious beginner's mistake... I would appreciate any hint. By the way, it's a 2.213 version with 715 map (I saw 720 is offered as the newest map - and for Europe it seems it went from 1.5MB to 1.8MB, so there are some additions - however, when I try my 'latest map guaranteed' option / one time in 30 days / I get the message that my map is the most recent one.. and any map updates give me the same 715 instead of 720.. why?)
One last thing: I tried to change the preferrence for the routing from 'the fastest' to 'avoid tolls' AFTER I made the itinerary.. after the change, it kept giving me recalculated ones through the same 'toll' part.. I tried ten times, the same, it didn't want to take into account the change in prefference.. this is really dumb, in my oppinion, I should be able to force a recalculation any way I want..
Anyways, my question is: why the heck the voice stopped across the border?
