If you are planning a trip to France.
As from 4th January 2012 all Sat-navs in use in France must NOT have camera-location software installed.
Both Garmin and Tom Tom have issued an upgrade that removes the POi and replaces it with a "Danger-Zone" POi.
Crazy, I know but be advised that if you are coming to France these rules are in now in force.
The Police (in France) are not allowed to investigate your unit GPS/Phone etc but the Customs & Excise (Dounes) are and its reported that checks when leaving the ferries are likely.
1500 euro fines and confiscation of the units (ouch) for failure to comply.
