I'll lay hands on it again today as I didn't go to the venue.
I'll report back with the findings including its total refusal to allow a second street name on the "Intersection" method of finding a point.
I have a Garmin which was offered in the US as having lifetime updates or a European map. Needless to say, I plumped for the latter. Having said that, I now recall discussing this before and the gist was that I had to get a mini sd card to hold Europe, cos when they said Europe, I think they must have meant every back street on the way to Moscow. It was darned expensive, but at least I can use it as a drive for backup.
It's nice to make a positive comment in this day and age, but I can with Garmin support. My wonderful old Street Pilot (batteries last 7 hours) had a poor rubber suction thingie. It welded itself to the screen. Garmin sent me two compete sets of holders by high speed post. Now, given I wish I didn't have to pay for the SD, the support guy was very helpful in steering me though changing maps - something I effected last year by pulling the SD before throwing the unit out of the car window. However, I decided to give it one more chance before throwing it, stopping and beating it with a tree branch for good measure. I put the SD in hot and away it went.
I'd been fooled, because as the nice man advised me, the unit had gone into basic map mode. I thought my Europe bonus had maps drawn by kids with crayons. Anyway, the extremely patient man took me step by step to switch off the US map before ticking (checking) the UK one.
You know, I might one day stop being a bloke, and read some instructions. I'm told that these days, even airyplanes have books of instructions supplied with them. Whatever next?
