Re: Where to? menu

The Apps menu has the same "Tip" icon but having mastered the where to? menu, I have to report failure on the Apps screen, I don't seem to be able to make the icons move as indicated.

Re: Where to? menu

Thanks for the advise
finally got this feature to work, the screen is very sensitive to touch, just the least amount of pressure to move the icons.
Happy at last

Re: Audio Output Button???

From memory the unit can tell if it's on the motorcycle or car mount, I think that's how it knows to use bluetooth or earpiece for the bike.
Although sometimes it takes a while to chose, but then my units are both around 12 years old.

Re: Do I trust this map update?

Update on the update: When I connected my second 660 to Express, I was pleased to find North West Europe offered as the segment of the European map as mentioned in previous post.

Re: Do I trust this map update?

I did that on both units, the first one I updated to 2024.1 for a trip to France 2 weeks ago with all of the rest of Europe loaded via Mapinstall and compared the differences in level of detail and found none. The master segment for the first unit was North Eastern Europe i.e Poland and some surroun...

Re: 2024.1 maps cannot be authenticated

I regularly have to uninstall/reinstall Express when updating maps, very often Express only opens with a blank screen beneath the page header.
My computer could not to open the map update file in either Mapsource or Basecamp as it was corrupted.
