    Me too, normal, I can only tell you Ecclesall Road DON'T have any!
  • Chris (manager at Maltby Somerfield) contacted me yesterday to say he had one if I still wanted it. As I've already bought 2 from Chesterfield I declined - it's probably gone now but worth a tel call.

    Has anybody had the problem where the Garmin doesn't pick up a signal at all and if so how you overcame this.

    If it's never picked up a signal since you've owned it, leave it outside in an area with no trees, surrounding buildings etc, for up to an hour. Do not move it during this time! Once it's stopped thinking it's in Taiwan it won't take so long to pick up a signal on future occasions.

    Any complaints about time scale, say that you couldn't find your way back.
    WHOOOOSHHHHHHHHH……..
    Blimey what was that ?
    That was your life mate
    Oh I wasn’t quite ready can I have another go ?
    Sorry mate only one per person.
  • I installed the speed camera POI's on mine last week and they all showed up when in map view. I updated the firmware from 2.5 to 2.7 and it now doesn't show the cameras in map view. ( Don't know if it still picks them up in nav mode yet but I'm not hopeful).

    Anyone got any ideas on this please? I have the latest POI's for the speed cameras btw.
