Also, check this osk..

I agree. Cross street name display is a must for any app I buy.

Hi schneid,

Welcome to Laptop GPS World.

I'm not on the road right now, so I cannot double-check this, but I think Garmin actually does a good job of displaying the road names that are important (in navigation mode). But I'll keep an eye on this tomorrow, while driving.

Hmm,
I see all street names displayed in navigation mode, both 2D and 3D.

I just got it...

On a french computer it's all in french !

Marvin Hlavac · #**155** June 4th, 2008, 04:42 PM

nialag, that's good to know! Thanks! So you are running French version of MS Windows, and Garmin Mobile PC user interface is in French language? Do you remember if the installation asked you for your language preference?

nialag · #**156** June 4th, 2008, 05:12 PM

no they din't ask me... It made de selection alone...

I was surpise because nothing on and in the box was in french...

I got the french "manuel" on Internet.

I will work with it and comme back with comments.

Cool! I wonder how many other languages are supported this way!

Ken in Regina · #**158** June 4th, 2008, 07:46 PM

It looks like at least French, Spanish, German and Italian. At least those are the other languages that manuals are available for. .... Yes, if you look at the things that were added in the 5.00.10g update it says that support for British English, French, Italian, Spanish and German were added.

...ken...

Here is the automatic language selection on the installation on my PC

Marvin Hlavac · #**160** June 5th, 2008, 08:54 AM

Nice. I wonder if the user interface, not just the voice prompts, supports all the above languages.

Can the Garmin Mobile PC software version only be installed on 2 separate laptops using the same 3rd party GPS receiver and same for the bundle version using the GPS 20x receiver (2 laptops)

Marvin Hlavac · #**162** June 10th, 2008, 04:18 AM

Good question. There has been a several pages long discussion on this confusing topic: Garmin Mobile PC Activation Limit
