what would you rather I do:

a) write a comprehensive instruction manual

b) add more options and features to NavCoder

They both take time...

Honestly, the program is so good already that it really warrants an equally good manual. Tack on an additional few bucks for the cost of making one and add it as a pdf file to the program's zip file. For one thing, you'll get a lot fewer questions that you are obviously spending time answering, so that alone will save you time in the long run.

Is NavCoder what I need to change the American English voice to a GB voice? I want the English accented voice!

With NavCoder you can change the region from USA to Europe

You will get
Language of your choice
No more Acceot screen
More options for some Euro features
British Miles (plus kms)

But you loose the Emergency feature

I think most people would choose Option b

The majority of functions on Navcoder are pretty self-explanatory. I reckon most of the problems concern registering the libraries (I know I had an issue), but how much effort is it to

a) search the forum for answers
b) post a question here

Perhaps what would be useful instead of a manual would be to 'mouseover' the options and give a brief note as to what switching on/off that function will do etc....

Tool-Tip Text is already part of NavCoder - but you reminded me that i forgot to set them for the LCM dialog

So tooltip text is fixed and v2.3.1 uploaded just now :-)
