2016-17 REVISED A-Z MAPS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD
(released in December)
We now update our A-Z maps TWICE A YEAR to keep up with changes. First release is in Spring and the second is in Winter.
There have been many changes on A-Z maps during 2016. If you have not updated your A-Z maps for a few years, now is the time. A-Z maps update on our Cabbie’s Mate devices come with 3 consecutive free POI updates. This map update is available for 4.3” non BT, 4.3” BT, 5” and the Android 7” units. These can be purchased from our website http://navigationmaster.com/_onlineStore.
iOS iPhone – iPad and Android Cabbie’s Mate Apps January POI update:
If you are on our iOS or Android PREMIUM Subscription Cabbie's Mate App, the January POI update will come to your iPhone - iPad or Android phone/tablet automatically, immediately after release, through the App Store and Google Play Store. If your iOS device is set to download automatically, as soon as the update is released the device will download it, but if your device is not set to download automatically, when you open the Cabbie's Mate app it will say 'Updates are available', select 'Take me there'.
If you are on STANDARD Subscription Cabbie's Mate App, you only get updated POI with the A-Z map update every spring.
All subscription customers are currently on 2016-17 Revised A-Z maps.
Please remember, although the functionality of both iOS and Android Cabbie’s Mate app is same, it performs much better on iPhones and iPads.
A quick reminder:
It is no longer viable to repair the early 4.3” devices. These units are now 7-8 years old and mostly uneconomical to be repaired. Even if it can be repaired, something else can go wrong within a short time period. The £50-£60 repair cost can pay for the Cabbie’s Mate A-Z iOS app for a couple of years so you can enjoy trouble free use. We still repair 5” and 7” devices. Please leave any repairs at JVBrights 47/51 Gt Suffolk St. SE1 0BS the taxi spare parts shop by the canteen.
We will collect, inspect, repair and return to JVBrights for your collection and notify you when the repair has been completed.

Advice on Phone or Tablet Preference for Cabbie’s Mate A-Z app
If you are going to purchase a device, our recommendation, based on our experience, would be an iOS device such as the iPhone 6 plus, 6S plus, 7 plus or the iPad. We are better placed to recommend our iOS App as there is only one manufacturer which is Apple and less versions of the operating system to work with. We know that our App works well on iOS. You will need to have a 3G (cellular) iPad for the app to work accurately; you will not need a 3G sim.
Unfortunately we cannot recommend a specific Android device as there are over 18,000 distinct Android devices on the market, device brands and models vary making it difficult for us to predict and recommend which devices and operating systems will be compatible with our app.
