Went ahead and got a 64s, impressed with the performance but pretty cheesed off that the Discover maps can't be copied to a bigger memory card so that more maps can be added.
I've been onto Garmin ab ... |

Thanks sussamb.
I suspected it would make a difference as my Galaxy S3 is very fast to get a signal and hold it although I have never had a signal problem with the 60CSX
Ill go for the 64 then I ... |

My trusty 60CSX is finally giving up the ghost after being dropped and getting a cracked screen.
Garmin want some daft money to fix it so I'm looking at a new model that will run OS maps.
Is it wort ... |

This is where I got the double din unit.

I can't see the exact unit I got listed now.
It looks as if most of them now are from ... |

Yes the navigation side of the unit probably does use CE to run on. basically it is two units in one case. CE for satnav and the other side for TV, radio etc
However, its very difficult to get ... |

Well this one won't copy. The slide lock doesn't stop copying, it only stops writing to the card mainly to prevent loss of data on the card.
I have tried to copy it on two different machines now wit ... |

Well the SD card is obviously protected and won't copy.
It is possible to read the card but there is nothing there to indicate a POI folder and I'm not about to play with the card in case it corrupts ... |

I don't think so, primarily because the TV is only analogue which is no use now in the UK.
The navigation software says its a trial so you may have to end up paying for it when the trial ends.
There ... |

Unbelievably Ford do not supply a manual for the satnav with the car.
Eventually managed to find one on the web but no mention of adding POIs
I'm now copying the SD to the PC before having a play w ... |

I like the concept behind these.
The bit I find most intriguing and the reason I would likely upgrade sooner rather than later, subject to price, is the published bit about the traffic updates usin ... |

Yes, that's sorted it, thanks sussamb
The screen needed on the 2595 is the Diagnostics screen though, not the Developer screen.
To get to it you start the unit up normally, go into the Volume scre ... |
