Brand new (refurbished) unit direct from Garmin - GPSmap 62st. First use, straight out of the box. Fresh lithium batteries, long bike ride - about 15 hours done, suddenly I get screen message "Externa ...

Aha! I'm not the only one who lurks on more than one forum!

Yes, I've made progress, of sorts, since I've identified that I can't actually do what I want to with the Garmin car satnavs.

So I'm l ...

I'm looking for a facility that I suspect many others would welcome. I frequently find that the most acceptable route from A to D is not via B and C and is neither the "fastest" nor the "shortest" but ...

Thanks Bosun. I too am interested in any change that makes the A10 more easily readable in bright light.

A lot of stuff about POIs (and now "OOIs") that will take a bit of study but which could be ...

Unless I've missed it somehow, I can't see from their website anywhere telling us in any detail what the changes are in v1.5
