Become a Polar Bear in Hammerfest? Cheers, -- tlvp That's a great voyage! Done several trips with them including a winter voyage to northern Norway with lots of snow and aurora, Faroe Islands, Iceland, UK, Svalbard, and Antarctica. My wife did the polar bear thing ages ago, I just took photos. MS Fram is my favourite ship. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu

Cheers, -- tlvp MS Fram works in the North in the northern summer, Iceland, Greenland, Svalbard etc. and in south South America and Antarctica in the northern winter. You can travel on the ship for at least part of the journey as it transverses the equator between its summer and winter schedules. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu

It is explained in the help for the feature. A zone will disapear unless updated. The idea is that the zone will have changed too much in a month. There is also a setting to automatically update downloaded maps, and another setting to do it only via WiFi. What I have not clear is if it will try to fetch data for the subzone actually displayed via data network even if locally stored, if it has changed. If not, the feature is not useful if you have a data plan. -- Cheers, Carlos.

When and what has googlemaps threatened to delete? When I first got the individual maps, I think it was, it said it was good for nn days. It didnt' even say they could be updated (and thus retained longer). I think that showed up only after I got some map data. >> >>The [USELESS because they cover such a small area] downloaded maps don't >>threaten, they just disappear after 30 days. Or maybe they do threaten, >>I've never kept one long enough to find out. It's not that the map area is so small, but that the part of the map that shows on a phone screen is so small**, and if one backs out farther, then many things are no longer shown. As opposed to a paper map where one can zoom in and out without losing any detail. Yesterday I was in a new car with built in maps and the screen was a lot bigger than a phone, but it still didn't cover enough area to appreciate **Moving left and right, up and down, helps some, but I don't know. However if i'm somewhere where a map is not available, it's better than nothing. >I got a pop-up message last week to say that my downloaded maps would be >deleted unless I took action to prevent it. >Makes sense, space isn't unlimited. But that isn't the reason. They don't check or care how much empty space you have. I don't know what the reason is. That the map has changed in 30 days is ridiculous, for 90% of the world, and if there are small changes, I'll deal with them when I get there. Maybe it's the advertising? Maybe they promise advertisers that everyone will see their ad within 30 days? Do you think that's it? I did "update" some maps, and I thought that meant it would just note that I'd been around and extend the map for 30 more days, but instead it dl'd a whole new map. Near Berryville Virginia where nothing had changed in years, decades for the most part, except a little new housing that I don't care if it's on the map or not. What would work to see enough at one time is printing out the maps, so one could have a bigger area, make notes etc. But the small roads on Google maps are almost invisible on paper, when printed from a PC. And for that matter, while viewing on a smart phone also. Google has a discussion board where several people have complained, but I don't know if anyone from Google reads it. Maybe it's just there for us to blow off steam. I did complain a year or two ago on the PC new Google maps that there were so many boxes I couldn't see the map, and I got what sure seemed like a personalized answer that they'd fixed, and indded they had, but the same complaint forum isnt' there anymore like when the new google maps were new. I used, had to use I think, my gmail address to complain, and I didn't read my gmail until a year after I complained! BTW, the old google maps for the PC can be found under another name. One big advantage is that you can turn off labels and that includes the gray line that traces all the streets. Some times the grey line makes it impossible to see where the street

Hawaiians have for years complained about the Google Map voice mispronouncing Hawaiian place names (Kihei coming out as "kigh-high" instead of "kee-hey", U'unene coming out as "un-een" instead of "oo-oo-neh-neh", etc.), to no avail.

I hear pretty well otherwise, but it's always blurred. I read that Barbara Streisand got someone who owns one of these things, and is a friend of hers, to change the pronunciation of Streisand. I forget which one is right but one is sand and the other zand. I think it had been wrong for years before she finally asked him. So maybe the Hawaiians and I need to make friends with Barbara.

What to do? You gotta live with it. American product, American pronunciation, no matter how ridiculous it sounds in the ears of native speakers. But it's not a Google-specific problem. The built-in navigation system of my Japanse-brand car "speaks" Dutch in way that is both annoying and very amusing. Synthetic voices ain't all that great.

No, I mean things like replacing a wovel with another. If you know Spanish, it pronounces "murcia" as "murcie", for example; and the "c" almost as "s", which is incorrect in most of Spain. -- Cheers, Carlos.

You mean the TomTom "Spanish" voice pronounces it that way? Had to believe it's a native speaker then; I guess it must be an English speaker. What happens looks exactly like what you see in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murcia as pronunciation. And yeah, the proper pronunciation of the 'c' here is pretty hard for not-native speakers. -p

The default voices are pretty good, but there are errors. -- Cheers, Carlos.
