Re: North coast 500 (Scotland)

Well lads it’s been a while since my initial posting relating to the NC500 but guess what, yes, today I finally managed to install it on my 550 (yippee) so now that lockdown could be ending, (any month soon) there maybe a chance to get up to Bonny Scotland and give it a try. Bye the way I have no id...

Re: Loss of memory

OK Sussamb thanks for the reply, I’ve never know a satnav not being able to work a route because it’s to far, I’ve not tried your suggestion yet but I’ll give it a go later. Would the outcome be the same if I did it on base camp and then transferred it to my devise? Would it work if I created severa...

Loss of memory

Hi, Here we go yet again, wonder if anyone can shed some light on my newest problem, in my infinite wisdom I decided to plot a couple of routes ready for the day lock down ends and we can all go out to play once again.

Vehicle type

Hi again, just browsing through the menu on my 550 and have noticed you can specify the type of vehicle you are driving. Has anyone actually selected a random vehicle just to see if the route actually changes for the specific vehicle that they have selected. One or two of the options are slightly wo...

Re: Map updates

How strange is that, I saw your ebay item just before I posted my question. Still not sure what I won’t to do, stick with what I’ve got, update what I’ve got or like you up grade to a more modern up to date system.

Not to sure just how much the new maps are (a...

Computer lead

Hi, looking for info regarding a lead to connect my 550 to the computer, I’ve just redecorated and managed to throw away my lead that I use to update my 550. The problem I have they are priced from 1.99 to 15+ pounds ( no pound sign on my keyboard) so I’m confused as to why? Should I just go for the...
