FYI: TTS is available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish among others...English is preloaded on the unit with Samantha's voice...(not my favorite)...download the other TTS languages from the DVD.

(I have a feeling since the character's name is Michael and not Mike, most of the "proper" spellings are on there instead...like Kathleen instead of Kathy; Stephen instead of Steve; Deborah instead of Debbie...etc...)

However Amelie, Ewan, Freya, Imogen, Isla, Kian, Maisie, Poppy, Rhys and Reece, Sky, Zara are also on the unit and those are not very "common" names.

(...If you want to know more, let me know I'll just turn it on...I certainly don't feel like typing them all out. Ha!)]]>Sep 30th 2008 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/"Homeboy, where can I take you today?"]]>Sep 30th 2008 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/Sep 30th 2008 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/
if you're not into ridiculously awesome 80's TV shows, the Knight Rider GPS isn't for you. If you ARE into aforementioned entertainment: get one, kevlar your Hyundai, and go eliminate some villains.]]>Oct 1st 2008 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/
Knight Rider offers TTS in a variety of languages, WAAS, pre-loaded Canadian Map, less than 10 second recalculation time, has the ability to create a multi-stop trip, can monitor your speed, auto day to night screen color change to lessen glare and also has screen brightness controls.

Of course it has the LED lights, the voice guidance from William Daniels, aka K.I.T.T....but that goes without saying.

I use VZ Nav as well as my Knight Rider when I'm in a pinch, however I can't use my phone as a phone entirely when VZ Nav is running. Although I have the unlimited service that includes VZ Nav, you do pay for the service monthly. With the Knight Rider you buy the unit and pay no more after that...VZ Nav costs $9.99 a month so after almost a year and a half you would be up to the current price of the unit at $269. Also the map update from Mio for 2009 is now free for a few units; Knight Rider is one of them, just go to their website for more details.

It comes down to how much you travel, if you dig the nostalgia of Knight Rider and if you have the cash to spend...
Hope that helped a little!]]>Oct 2nd 2008 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/Oct 2nd 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/Nov 11th 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/mios-knight-rider-gps-gets-reviewed-high-fived/Dec 19th 2008 3:00PM
