1. As a result of my experiment I have decided to remove the newer 885 map with the 9401 navcore and revert back to the older map as mentioned above.
2. I found on one occasion the later setup map was indicating to take a 3rd exit but 'Kate' was telling me to take the first exit ( confirmed by my passenger). Over the last week or so I have found discrepancies in the 885/9401 setup regarding final destinations which have been out by as much as a mile and on the opposite side of a dual carriageway.
3.I am not overly impressed with the icon layout but I did like the large red speed limit indicator and an over speed sound warning which I cant seem to find anywhere to duplicate it to my older set up. I noted on 3 or 4 occasions the newer map had an incorrect speed limit displayed and in addition to an already earlier posting on the subject of an inability to download start up and shutdown sounds, all of the camera warnings that you seem to spend forever setting up (on all versions) had all reverted to a single 'gong' sound which was the final straw for me !.
4. I am appreciative of all the time spent on the update by all members and, more importantly, the moderators like Tendriver and Downunder35 and I don’t intend any of the above to be a criticism. I think though that perhaps both the map needs some updating and probably the navcore isn’t suitable for my 720, but I tried it !.

2. I do believe you mentioned in another posting somewhere on the forum that you were using the 9401 /885 map on a 720 which is what persuaded me to try it.
