Then as soon as you put the postcode in you get this................. I've spoken to Garmin about it and they almost admitted that there's a bug in the system Go back to a search in England (Birmingham in this case) and it's no problem at all I also had no problem finding hotels etc in France from a post code search . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, works well in England elsewhere meh. You have to find it on google maps then find that point on the Garmin map to navigate to it. Rubbish. I asked Garmin about it and it was the usual crap. Still it beats having your phone pack up cos its too hot, or cold or wet and oh the suns too bright for the crappy screen, oh liquid detected its stopped charging, oh balls it won't image stabilise anymore, oh FFS stop the txt alert banners covering the instructions.. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the point of having that tv screen for a dashboard if you don’t bother with it? Ask the guys at KTM or whatever to set it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine worked well through France as well, as did my previous Montana 650. As a motorcycle GPS they're pretty dammend good. I hear all the arguments about phones, they're great until it rains, or it's too hot, or the vibration kills them, or you can't see the screen in bright sun etc etc. as you've pointed out already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
