Re: Mileage issues

Thanks for the replies, Fallguy67 looks like the winner, if I look at my favourites list the mileage is 135 miles but if I scroll using the square button it then tells me a”Arrive in 173miles” so that looks like the answer. I’ve got about 15 favourites on my list and everyone of them tells the same ...

Mileage issues

Hi, Can anyone explain why my 550 is giving a different mileage than google maps? I have a holiday home in Scotland that is 173 miles from my home, thats the same as Google maps, and my car mileage. But my 550 insists its 135 miles, that is the same for a journey both ways. The 550 comes up with exa...

Re: 550 taking strange route

Thanks for the advise it was much appreciated, I’ve been giving it some thought and came up with swapping the 550 for another younger version, is there another younger unit that will fit on my bike mount?. I don’t want to go down the new unit new bike mount, just swap the unit for a younger (better)...

Re: Security Screw

Right I’m a bit confused now, if I fit my 550 into its cradle press down the security lever and do nothing else should I simply be able to lift the lever and remove the 550 from the cradle? In my experience if I fit the 550 to the cradle go out on the bike for run, when I attempt to remove the 550 i...

Re: Security Screw

Is it not possible to remove the screw?, seems to be more of an inderance than a help, and just rely on the release mechanism on the back. The thing that makes it worse on my bike is the screen sits very close to satnav which makes it very difficult to unscrew the tiny screw with the screw driver.

Hi again, Can anyone help me understand how the little security screw works on my motorcycle mount, I was under the impression that if I screwed it down it would stop the unit from being removed from the mount, so to remove it from the mount you needed to unscrew it lift the clamp and away you go. B...
