    Default Uniden Trax 430 on special for $296

    Just thought I'd post up a quick heads up that Good Guys has this 4.3" GPS on special this weekend.



    It has a really nice bright screen, a cute 3D mode and does spoken street names.

    I dont know which routing software it uses but it seemed pretty nice to use.



Look Here ->

    Hi Mate,

    I bought one of these from Harvey Norman several months ago,for $349.00,so That price is very good.

    Navigation Software is IGO8,and the Mapping is 2008 Sensis.

    Like you say,a nice Unit.
    Cheers.

    I thought I read some post here that people were already running different routing software on the Aldi?

    I'm going to see if Dick Smith sell this new Uniden and pick one up to try

    It runs Igo8,and I would like to put my "better" version on it with spoken speed cam alerts,extra skins etc.

    I havent seen any updates yet for this.

    Uniden have a free program called "Trax Central",which,is supposed to allow you to download updates etc.

    As I said,I haven't seen any updates yet.

    There is UK english on the unit,but not TTS.

    I wish you luck,
    I tried emailing them some months ago,about my Daughters Gps,after a couple of weeks,with no reply,I rang them,the lady I spoke to was also less than helpful.

    There about as useful,as an Ashtray,on a Motorbike.

    As expected...........Unfortunately.

    The problem I think,
    Is, these people dont realize there are Many forums just like this one,where members will bag them for doing the wrong thing.

    And if they do realize this,and dont address their shortcomings,then they are just plain Stupid,and deserve to lose future sales.

    Regards.

    Still no reply from them

    There must be additional voices available from somewhere since as below from their website shows

    When connected to the trax central program,the list of optional downloads is show in the left colum.
    There are heaps of ethnic languages,besides the english speaking ones.

    These can be all installed,via Trax Central.

    The TTS english is Indeed US Flavour,the UK language is not TTS.

    I have a Voxson gps 350,with IGO8,and it has UK TTS,Unfortunately I dont know how to "Put" things in trax central,or even if this can be done.

    Cheers.

    I just noticed there are options to update maps via this program.

    Does that mean map updates are free with Uniden? If so that would be
