My Navigator is revolting. Just as she was starting to learn that "No ! none of those exits from the roundabout is the right one" is not an acceptable statement, as we take our third circuit and I start to feel a little dizzy. She has asked, no, demanded full French mapping on our Sat Nav.

In the past we used the Major Roads of Europe supplied with the Medion Navigator 5.1 and had fun with the minor roads. I enjoy looking at maps we will have our Michelin Guide with its many loose pages with us, we may even buy a new one. The search is on for a copy of the Medion Mapping for France.

Medion shows the CD in all its glory on it shopping page on the web. £49.99 expensive but well if it means a peaceful holiday, click on purchase and it says discontinued.

The Medion MD 96800 was sold by Aldi, search the web and you find it has caused quite a stir over the years. The Medion 96800 which also goes by the model, MBPNA 250 T is not such a bargain after all.

TomTom maps are update able, when I bought the Medion I expected at least that facility, you know, just a little product support but no. No updates for the maps you have, when I looked at the France CD shortly after buying the 96800 the mapping was a little old, now it is discontinued.

Search the web and there is a plethora of woe, incompatible maps between models that look the same, maps for 5.1 that do not work on 5.1, the top query, where can I get French mapping. It seems Medions game is to get you to upgrade your model. Would anyone in their right mind upgrade to another Medion?

Look look, it is definitely Navigator 5.1 Software.

Well the thing is only a PNA with Windows Mobile Software. Add some files and make it boot into Windows and you can install TomTom on it. The files are on the web in a chat format, the comment from someone straight after is, "I have tried that, it does not work after step 2 in the instructions" I can confirm it does not work after step 2. There is no more information that I can find, yet it is still offered by the group who say it works.

Sometimes the web provides elegant solutions sometime it is a complete nightmare, the advertising on searches should be regulated, every company comes up with 'Buy Medion France Map for v5.1 here' of course I know that if I enter 'campingcariste in sexy black leather' a whole range of companies will have me on offer.

Does anyone have the France map for this thing? even the original outdated mapping will do, we don't use too many new roads anyway. If I find it I shall offer it to all fellow campers who need it. On free loan of course, no naughty copyright infringements.
