tuckerpuc,
Try selecting Cities from the menu and then simply type in where you wish to go. It should take you to the central postcode . Wink

Hello, think I was being thick! Once I chose an address I could see all petrol stations etc. in the vacinity. I was trying to look for petrol stations without first selecting an address! I have noticed though that I do get the speed camera warnings but I don't get the icon on screen showing me exactly where it is. I presume I should get this? It also warned me when I was going below the speed limit

You should get a warning of the speed camera, and then if you are above the set speed, then you can see the camera icon. If you drop below the speed limit, the icon disappears.

Of course, this is assuming you have uploaded the bitmaps of the camera when you uploaded the camera csv file. Must have exactly the same name, but .bmp

You can have different icons for redlight, gatso ,etc if that is how oyu pois are set up...

it works! my new transflash card & reader (which i don't need for this, never mind) arrived this morning (thanks www.mymemory.co.uk) and I've just downloaded the CitySelect maps I need of North Italy for next week.

Will see how they actually work, but seem to have lots of pre-loaded PoIs, and I've found a few others to include as well.

Very relieved it worked - just have to see how it performs when actually abroad!

gg..did it work on the simulation mode or for real mode?

on simulaton i think - can i try "for real mode" without actually being abroad?

what i mean by it working was that i could download maps to a new transflash card and the unit read it quite happily. both the airport and the hotel we're staying in are already included in the PoIs, so at least I should be able to get between those two okay!

Good luck in Italy GG !

But back in Britain... has anyone found a way of removing all the other countries? So when you click "where to" and "address", you dont have to select England?

Seems a bit daft, especially if thats where you always are...

Hi I am a new member.

I bought my i3 from pc world last tuesday for £199,after reading what everybody was saying about it here and for this price it's a great buy.

I had to buy a external antenna because of my windscreen which i bought from e-bay for £18-49 inc postage which arrived from america in 3 days where as on the garmin site it is about £70!

I have hard wired it to my car using a cigar extension lead, cutting off the plug and using snap cable connectors and hiding all the cables under the floor well, gives me a tidy look.

Have installed the camera data, will be trying out this later today,even though i have the micro road pilot on my dash which incidentally is a terrific little kit.

I have just got back from round trip of about 45 miles going into middlesbrough and back home.

The navigation worked very well indeed but the camera data did seem a bit strange, it picked up one camera spot on as did the road pilot, but then gave me a couple of false alarms.

One warning was it kept flashing up about 30 mph speed when i was in a 40 mph zone doing about 35 mph which was strange, but all in all it is a fantastic piece of kit, very impressed.
