Re: Stupid Sat Nav

I’ve just spent the last 2hrs playing around with the Satnav in the new car while parked up on the drive My conclusion is it’s complete garbage and not fit for purpose and that’s before I try it out on the road! If it had been a extra cost option I’d demand my money back!! The interface is terrible...

Re: Stupid Sat Nav

Tried a number of different nav apps over the years, hate Waze as it choses very strange routes at times. Only one I like is TomTom Go on the iPhone.

Re: Tourist - Alternative Speedometer

I’ve found the tourist speedo. In the trip meter, 3rd section there are three square tick boxes. Text for first says ODO - mi, second is an arrow & petrol pump - mi but for the third box there is no text description. If I select the box with the blank text then the digital speedo changes to km/h...

Tourist - Alternative Speedometer

The manual talks of a “tourist alternative speedometer “ and it implies that it is enabled/disabled in the trip computer using the steering wheel right hand controls.
