Has anyone bought or used one of these devices?
Woolies have them at £200 as an exclusive product and we were thinking of buying one for my F-i-L's 80th birthday.
I use my iPAQ or a Garmin Streetpilot i3 myself, but wondered how the RAC unit compares?
Any gotchas with it? |

The Father in Law is using it and getting on OK, but has no prior usage to compare against.
What problems are you having? |

Had the same problems updating the unit on a freinds RAC satnav 110, It turns out it was the card - the one that came with their unit was a MMC card and not a standard SD card (loads of extra pins and very thin) loaded all data from card to PC (using a card reader) and then copied it all back onto a standard SD card, now PC finds it ok.
Might be worth a try (I can now update easily, original card kept coming up with directory too deep and device timeout error when trying to update ) |
