Satnav should not be ruined because some people are stupid.
Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately many things are ruined due to laws brought in because a minority of people are stupid.

This looks really good and I'm very tempted. My only concern is how much the phone wobbles when the car is moving - one of my pet hates about several other mounts I've tried.

I can agree that Garmin customer service is excellent. On the 2 or 3 times I've had to contact them they have been more than helpful, on one occasion sending me a new battery cover for my GPSMAP60 fr ... |

Only a couple of weeks ago, a large lorry got stuck (literally!) in ... |

Hmm. I wondered if giving the Nuvi a hard reset would help. From what I've read you do this by holding the power switch over to the left for 8 seconds. However, when I tried this, it didn't help, a ... |
