I think Ireland is very poorly served where maps are concerned.

GPS in Ireland
Hello,
I know of 3 program's that you could use, as Ireland does have bad navigation software available.
The first is TomTom's Routeplanner of UK & Ireland, which I use (it is quite cheap) It has every back-road & town in the country, it does not re-route but it does have a scrolling map and shows you exactly where you are, and all you have to do is follow the shaded line and you know you are on the right track.
The second is www.Mapopolis.com. Dublin/Cork is very well covered down to every street. There are two versions available a navigation and an enhanced version (similar to the routeplanner). The country has limited coverage, but all National & and most regional roads are covered. The good news is that there is a demo version available to see (9 days worth)
The third is Destinator 3 (expensive) I know it does cover Ireland but to what extent I do not know, but the screen shot's in 3-D mode look great! Look at this link:
http://www.ietechsmart.com/gpsindex1.1.htm
They are based in Dublin and claim full coverage of Ireland. I have seen this advertised in the UK for approx €180+VAT see:

Look at the Destinator demo on:

Hope this helps

Xdaere, please email me, I forgot all about the maps thing, I have the latest maps and the export tool from medion/navtech, all Ireland is there down to street level. You need WM2003 to run the program I think.

Forgot to say, it is also full voice navigation.

At last Ireland is covered?
Just found this from viamichelin's Mapsonic
They claim:
Countries covered: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

Importing Kaiser to Hungary - Question to Hungarians

From misc. reasons I will visit Hungary next month. I wish to purchase the new Kaiser, and ask that it will be sent to Hungary.
Am I going to pay any special taxes? Am I going to have problem with local customs, or anything else I should be aware of?
Many thanks,
Amir.

I think you will have no problem with the costum. If you are citizen of any EU state and the PDA will be sent from a EU state, then definitly no problem. No only disadvantage is that you have to show me the Kaiser ! (It was a joke )

Thanks for your reply.
I'm non EU citizen. The package will be sent from the USA (outside the EY of course).
In my country there is authorization lists for cellular phones. Only cellular phones in that list will pass the customs. Other cell phone will be confiscated.
This is annoying and stupid but this is it.
Does in Hungary you can import any cellular phone (Kaiser etc..) with no problems? are any taxes should be payd for this?
P.S Be glad to show you the Kaiser (will be in Pecs and Budapest)
Amir.
