I was delighted with my Lidl MYGUIDE Navigator till I stumbled on this forum and realised my SD-card was half-size. 512Mb applied for but no result after 13 days - many thanks to those who told us.
I was pleased when I saw all of Europe on-screen till I found they were main routes only - no detail. I'm going skiing etc for all of March and would like to take maps of France and the Alps. Where's the best place to get them. Can anyone advise, please? Can I use maps from another system, maybe? Are there any bargains going?
If I buy in France, say, will they be cheaper/understandable by an Engish idiot? Will the commentary be French?
There is one other small problem. In 'Route Planner' it seems impossible to enter way-points; only a start and finish. I find this most annoying. Am I wrong? Can you plan a route from A to B to C and beyond?
Looking forward to a first (ever) contact. Lotusman  |

Seeing as my local Lidl (Exeter) had one of these systems in its latest flyer (half a page) and reading this forum.
I thought I would risk my £199 and try one.
Got to the store 1 hour after opening, "Sorry none left" when asked was told they only had 4 systems to start with!
Not bad for population over 100,000!
They do nothing for customer loyalty with this sort of useless promotion!!  |

Hi guys,
My local Lidl store also only had 4 units, one of which had been reserved by someone, which left only 3 available. Luckily, I was the second person in the queue. I started queueing at 8.10am and when the doors opened at 9am there was about 20 people in the queue of which probably half wanted the GPS system.
Anyway, I've got one and am very impressed so far.
Regards
Russell |

That's not very fair reserving one for someone......i am sure my local Lidl said they never do that.... |

To be fair, I think it is up to the store managers discretion. In this case, it was for a disabled lady with crutches who obviously couldn't do the quick dash to the till.
