Hi all,
Does anyone know if Thinkware locks their GPS software to specific regions? That is if you purchase the F770 from the UK - it will not work in Australia because the GPS has been locked to the UK region.
Due to the recent fall in the British pound, the cost savings from buying the F770 set from UK is significantly cheaper (as compared to buying one locally in Australia). I spoke to a local retailer who mentioned that I'd have to buy one locally for the reason above and that the road safety warning system and safety camera alerts will not work as they are GPS dependent functions.
Just wondering if anyone here knows if what I've been told is BS and is basically a scare tactic to buy local.
Best Regards,
Sam
