Not sure what you mean by widescreen, but it runs flawlessly on both my N82 and my mates N95-8Gb.
I am not, however, able to get the proximity alert to work which is a bit of a bind, but here in SE Asia, the detail on the maps is incredible with every 2 house village in the countryside and jungle around here marked accurately.
It can be a real lifesaver out here!
I would recommend getting it with no probs! (No I don't work for Garmin, it's just a lot better than Nokia maps which came bundled with my phone). :wink:
I've installed it on my N82 also but it can detect the built in GPS. Are you using an external GPS?
What's average FPS for Garmin? Somewhere I read that it's only 1/second. So it must terrible. Is that right? Does it accept initials to search? It is always a killing feature!
Still... its main advantage is stability and support. If you want great features there are lots of other fancy GPSs out there that work much better than Garmin... and if you need that, then go for it.
I think the average is somewhere about 3 frames per second... not a lot of software go higher. if you are really interested in speed searh on google for "gps fps" and you should get something...
oh, and Garmin can't search for initials... only igo and I think ndrive can do that... :lol:
So if a unit updates more than once per second, it's probably just extrapolating your position based on the last fix.
The problem is only in soft. Ibelieve that TomTom and Garmin they also can reach 10FPS but they don't care.The problem is only in soft.
