Users, here is a few points and a request for help in my use of the 920 while visting here in Rome. I Landed in Rome and the TT was able to get me to my hotel with little problems. The next day I drove into Rome and parked close to the Vatican to walk around for the day. I tried to put in an "way point" as to where my car was but I must have entered it wrong. I tried to enter it as a favoriate but selected last point so somehow it saved the hotel instead. Now I know that when I stop my car I have to enter in GPS location (or something like that).
Walking around Rome I tried to use it to help me get to POIs of Tourist attraction. It could find them (or most of them) but I found it very difficult to use when walking around. It seems that it does not sample the sats fast enough becuase I would start walking one way and then after a few minutes it would say I should be walking a different way. Two other points: put the TT into 2D and topis North to help trying to locate yourself on a paper map. Also select turning off automatic zoom (although when zoomed in all the way auto zoom does not seem to work as it still zooms in and out). Overall, it is not a great tool for walking-it is just okay. If there were a way to have it sample the GPS more often it would probably be better. Is there a Hack to do that?
Power: a real challenge. I tried turning it on and off frequently to get more time out of the unit. But, the only solution was to carry the charger and an AC adapter and plug it in during lunch and coffee.
Any other tips to use this while walking would be greatly appreciated. I still have several other european cities to walk through.
