Also still using the original app as I hated the new one at first sight the minute it was launched and never looked at it again since.

It's looking like the last version of the software this works with is 1.05. If you've recently got your Sony or updated it beyond 1.05, it won't work.

I don't think you can I'm afraid, although I'm prepared to be corrected.
I think your choice is either to use POI-Warner, which may well work a lot more easily (but you have to pay a little for it) ... |

If it's just one trip, it might be worth looking at Google Maps. This now runs on your mobile phone and provides walking directions between points.
Obviously there are data charges, but it's not t ... |

I had two C510D units fail. Tried the hardware reset under the removable bezel and tried plugging the USB in - no joy. Both went back to Halfords, who ... |

Ach, started a new thread when I should have posted here.

Just to report this hack to make your unit speak streetnames, not just "turn right" that's all over the net works very well.
You do need to make sure your firmware is no later than 5.40.
