What's the point?

[ashyx]

Recently purchased the streetpilot i3 for £99 from Comet. I'm quite impressed with it for the price.

Unfortunately due to my inqusitive nature I played with it and accidently wiped my maps off 'CITY NAVIGATOR EUROPE NT+ V8' making the damn thing near useless.

I managed to load the METROGUIDE EUROPE V7 maps on to the unit which are basically pants compared to what was on the unit previously.

I don't have the original disk for CN so what is the point in providing me with the 25 digit unlock code for it if I can't re-install it anyway. Seems pointless to me.

I now have a unit that sometimes puts me in the middle of a field or goes in the wrong direction for apparant reason because I'm using Metroguide Europe and doesn't give proper direction at a roundabout.


Anyone got any idea how I can get City navigator back on there without going out and buying the software which actually costs more than the unit itself?

Thanks.

Should say:

I now have a unit that sometimes puts me in the middle of a field or goes in the wrong direction for no apparant reason because I'm using Metroguide Europe and doesn't give proper direction at a roundabout either.

Why can't posts be edited? Strange forum.

Have you contacted Garmin customer services yet? They are generaly helpful?

If you've deleted your v8 maps from the card - then they're gone; ain't a-comin back.

The the only way to fix this is to get on to Garmin. Bite the bullet

Other users have done the same and Garmin re instated the Map Free of Charge. Contact Garmin

Roundabouts are a known limitation of Metroguide as it was designed for PC use only but you can always check the Screen as the Maps are displayed correctly.

Have you loaded metroguide fully so you can address and postcode search?
