Quick update - just updated to software version 7.70, and then did a factory reset.

It worked correctly just once, and now crashes every time immediately after saying "say the name of a place".

Then it didn't, then it did, then it didn't.... The command is now working intermittently.

Sometimes it says "Say the name of a place" then reboots.
Sometimes it lets me say the name and then re ...

I had exactly this problem when I did the first map/firmware update on my brand new 2595. I repeated the update process and the problem seemed to disappear, but it's now back. It will get as far as sa ...

Thanks Neil,

Ideally I'd like a plastic hard shell case (as I'm quite sure I'll drop it at some point in future...) but a leather one should offer a fair bit of protection.

I'll nip along to Hal ...

I've just bought a Nuvi 250W, and wondered if anyone could recommend a carry case for the 2xxW series?

Surprisingly, Garmin don't sell one (or at least their weibsite does not list one under Access ...

Brian - thanks for the info. I was just about to buy a 2gb card as I didn't know bigger ones were available. Would you mind saying where you got yours? (I just looked on Ebuyer and they stock nothing ...

No, AFAIK it does not come with any decent maps, just the (US) basemap. Hence my interest in buying it plus some more detailed UK maps. If you know of any good deals on UK maps that will work with the ...

Many thanks for the advice. I'll have to think carefully before buying the topo map. I'm not really a ~serious~ walker, but mostly I would use the handheld on the hills in Wales and Scotland where the ...

And forgot to ask: why do you reckon that the Topo GB V2 is over rated? Too expensive for what you get??

Thanks, looks like a purchase from the US is on.

I'm tempted to buy a 2Gb micro SD card for it as they are now only £18 from 7dayshop, but there is that nagging doubt that the 60 series can't cope ...

Thanks for the response, and for the screenshots - I see what you mean, the topo maps would be a bit of a pain to use on the road!

One further question on the 60csx: is it correct to assume that yo ...

I've owned Garmin handhelds for years and they've always been good (and Garmin Customer Service always exceptional), but I've decided to change the eTrex Legend for a 60Csx as the screen is just too s ...

Paul - no doubt it's a switched mode power supply. They are notoriously 'peaky' in terms of load. The PSUs in PCs are apparently capable of burning out the mains distribution wiring in older office bu ...

No they are not. Clinton had it switched off for good.

Lutz - are you sure about that? My (typically bad) memory had me thinking that Clinton agreed to have it turned off, but the US military reser ...

There's a PC World POI here:

you need to register, but that's not difficult.

Then again there's the question of why anyone would ~want~ to be able to ...
