Andy P. thinks I am not seeing the battery indicator on my screen, but I am. My complaint is that you cannot view charging status or see a credible view of remaining battery power. It is also only visible after removing external power, no way to see it while the unit is plugged in. Now if they could just make that tiny little icon about 5 times the size it would possibly be meaningful.

There is definitely something odd going on with the M4!

Once again my 540 tried to send me down the M4 into London this AM despite the fact that it was closed, between J3 and J1.

Live traffic knew it was closed, the display traffic map showed it as closed, but the route wouldn't re-plan. I'm positive it used to with V8.

I think the M4 is closed overnight all this week so if anyone else is up at an ungodly hour and could try a route that would involve the end of the M4 (past Heathrow) I'd be interested in the results.

I may be wrong but I have not noticed any recent signs of impending closure for the M4 inside the M25 at night, but I have not been there in the small hours.

I could not find any records of it on the Highways Agency site either.

Maybe unplanned work?
But the gantry matrix signs on the M25 are all reporting it as closed between J3 and J1. ( this is between about 4:00am and 4:30am)

Thanks Andy, I will give all that a go.

But what a kerfuffle! I can handle larger more detailed maps needing me to expand the memory but they really need to make it more consumer friendly. Home should recognice what maps I am permitted to install and have a simple option to change zones!

I'm now happily running the new version, but I have one question:
On the horizontal status bar, at the left-hand end, there is a small up-arrow, just above the current speed indication.
Can anyone tell me what this arrow indicates? It doesn't seem to be there if I switch the status bar to vertical mode.

I used the new version for the first time yesterday: Chesterfield - Leominster - Chesterfield via M1/M42/M5. It worked faultlessly and was noticeably quicker to update the route on the two occasions I diverted from the one advised. Initial satellite lock and route planning was as quick as before.

Traffic delays (plenty of them unfortunately) were correctly shown and accurate in duration. The only glitch was when turning south off the M42 onto the M5 when 'M5' wasn't mentioned until I was actually on the M5, i.e. no prior voice instruction. I do wish it would pronounce Live as in 'hive' and not as in 'give' though.

Status bar is a bit cluttered so I need to delete stuff I dont need - no idea what the up arrow that others have noticed is either.

Is there a way to see:
1) Map and software versions?
2) GPS info i.e. how many satellites are being seen, etc.

In response to my own previous entry; I am now seeing the speed limit as well as actual speed. I don't know why it wasn't showing the first time I installed 9.058. One other thing I have now noticed; I was travelling from Dulwich to Swindon this morning and HD Traffic indicated 39 minutes delay but had not offered a quicker alternative route. I forced it to recalculate and right enough it found a quicker route with just 7 minutes of delays; now, here's the thing, it is no longer possible to recalculate ORIGINAL route, so on a long journey you may commit to what (at the time) is a quicker route, but you cannot check to see what's happening on the original route. Hopefully inside the gubbins HD Traffic is still monitoring the original and will re-offer it if the delays disperse.
