In other great news, I went for a drive today and Ivona worked! Not sure why as there are often large gaps when it's not driven. Perhaps the soft reboots last time I was playing with it weren't enough for the new setting to take effect.
Regardless, I highly recommend Google Nav with Ivona if you drive with data services enabled. The voice quality of this TTS engine is amazing and the Aussie accent is just about spot on. No choice NZ excent yut for our frinds across the dutch, aye bro.
When I get time I'll try to downloads maps for offline use. If that's successful, I'll consider it the perfect nav solution.
Then to make it the perfect head unit, I'll just need to sort out the issue with contacts. I'm thinking one of the tablet apps for sms and dialing might work.
Thanks again to all who have contributed to this.

Thanks for the navi info as I like Sygic but if can't get map updates then hopeless.
Excuse my ignorance but to get google Nav with Ivona is that just an app from the play store?
Keen for you to test offline maps @
coyote as data plans here are a killer for mobiles.
Shame about no kiwi accent. TomTom did a nationwide search for the best kiwi accent. I like when you arrive at your destination it says something like "grab your jandals and your chilly bin. Cheers for the ride bro." And if you go the wrong way it says "turn around and let's go get a meat pie" or something like that.
