Ghoti's Garmin has frozen - he's in France. Apparently an explanation was given on YDC of how to unlock Garmin's in a thread started (possibly) by Popsflyn.
Anyone help ASAP?

Had a word with tech people. tel no. 0870-8501242. Was told I would get an email with step by step instructions how to do a master reset. If anybody ever needs to do this.
with the unit off
Press, ON + OK + Page. (This is a master reset)
to do a Data reset
Press, PAGE + OK + ON (all saved data will be removed)
I have just done a master reset and fingers crossed this seems to have worked.
My quest is now showing all roads etc, but be aware, when first switched on it was showing America.

some how I agree with Gurninman.
Don't get me wrong GPS is very useful but should never take you away from having a back up or even the excitement of exploring without technology!
Glad everything is now sorted and hope you enjoyed.

Yeah, thanks guys. The only thing worse than no GPS was letting Fiasco lead with his GPS  |

Yeah, thanks guys. The only thing worse than no GPS was letting Fiasco lead with his GPS Ok, so our GPS's were singing from different song sheets !! Same units, same maps, different takes on how to get to places ! Dave ;D |

i wonder if one of your units had autorouting set to 'quickest time' and the other to 'shortest distance'? "even the excitement of exploring without technology!"done plenty of that......  Ady |

What's so bad about maps? The only thing worse than drivers on mobiles is drivers watching their dazzingly bright GPS mounted so high they cant see the road properly or so low they cant see the GPS and drive while looking at the floor. I guess reading a map on your knees is even worse, but as few folk these days can read maps that's becoming less of a problem.
