Hi
I'm new to this site and hope this is the right area to ask for help. I won 3 of the above sat navs. Gave 1 to my brother and two to friends as I already have a Navman that I am very happy with.
One of my friends has come back and said his sat nav won't work and now my brother has said exactly the same thing. They both tell me they installed as per the manual, plugged in via the cigarette lighter, unit powered up and started to find a satellite signal. They drove off and within a minute or two both units went off and failed to ever come back to life! The re-set button underneath was used on both units, but neither responded. I have sat in the car with one unit for about 10-15 mins with it plugged in to see if the factory battery had gone completely flat and powering up whilst off line would help - nothing. Dead as a dodo!
The company I got them from has said send them back for replacement but I'm not happy about having the same model back in case the same thing happens!
Anyone got any ideas please? Thanks in advance!
