Fitted a new dash camera....thanks to Yasser...looks like you need to protect yourself from rozzas rather than the uninsured.

I hate to say it moley551 but it has also proved them right a couple of years ago when i had to do a speed awareness course.

Bloody siemens or whichever pleb made it

Don't you press nought twice, or summink similar Or just use Waze and shout at it

I shouted at mine like fook but it didn't respond

There's nothing on the text and number page, I'll try symbols tomorrow and have a good look but it isn't obvious at all, it should be an icon on all available pages of input ffs.
Read online that it is a lying down bracket symbol but i would have tried that if i saw it
It isn't a direction button as they navigate around.
I also have a setting called tolerance which basically shows all keys rather than only highlighting the predicted keys.
Still no obvious space button.

Problem is that you only really use sat nav to get to somewhere and invariably when you are in a hurry

Mine is the new model, but.... There are 2 options. Regard :

Thanks for that m8 I'll have a look :-)

I am happy to be corrected on something like this, it is frustrating when you can't see the field for the trees to

Plenty of room on the page for a fooking space bar tho :lol:

Another annoying thing is that until it acquires satellite or boots up it won't let you navigate to type in the address :roll:

i know because it is predictive but i think I'd prefer to keep it on standard tolerant mode :roll:

Time saving features that actually don't

Once its running, as a Sat Nav it's fine, but setting up a route is a total pain in the arse.

Especially now they've changed the sodding steering wheel.

There's too many bloody options and menus on this stupid thing and it won't let me input a few valid names like chester road for eg it'll do chester and dim the keyboard.
I am getting to gross with it slowly but when you first go on it it is crap. :roll:

Can't help you there dude. I always use a postcode.

by **loot** » Tue Sep 26, 2017 9:42 pm

Problem we have is that our runs usually end up at unnamed roads which invariably are 100 miles long

We've missed races because of it :-(

I'll spend some time with it, might even see if there is an update. Maps are 5 too so maybe I'll buy 7??

Wouldn't mind the sync 3 tho :mrgreen:

by **dan_robinson** » Tue Sep 26, 2017 10:01 pm

See, I'm usually in Laaaandan taaaaaaan, and a postcode works down to one or two doors. It is an eye opener when 8 am working near where I live and it covers 3 villages :lol:

That's why I principally use Waze and Google maps. I've even put a push pin over our house as people ended up all over the place using the postcode :lol:

Hi, do you find the 130 quick enough, cant make mind up whether to go for that or the 170

Yes buddy, I drive it like a grandad though!!

It is a bit flat until it gets to about 2k and above though...
