Based upon SereTalk podcast, though, I would assume we'll see some updates to the accessibility of the program so it works better with VO and provides more information to pedestrians. cdh On Aug 11, 2009, at 5:01 AM, william lomas wrote: > > what will the update in december contain for navigon? > > On 10 Aug 2009, at 18:50, Chris Hofstader wrote: > >> >> EI don't do podcasts.
