Bollards!!!

Is there anyway that I can prevent my new Navman pin with SmartSt v3 from taking me to a street that is impassable due to bollards?
Thanks

Yes, by using the Avoid Area setting. Just tap and hold on the screen where the bollards are and then tap Add Avoid Area. You can then tap and drag in any of the eight boxes which appear at the edges of the 'Avoid' box to ensure you only set the avoid area where you want it without overlapping any valid roads then tap in the middle of the 'Avoid' box to 'set' it. I recommend zooming i as much as you can to get the smallest area possible on the screen.

Mistakes can easily be deleted by tapping in the 'Avoid' box and selecting Delete, or if you have multiple avoid areas to delete, tap on an unaffected area of the screen and tap Clear Avoid areas.

Or a Land Rover badge on some military surplus armoured vehicle!

I know a guy who has a 101 Forward Control ambulance - ex-military. He put stretchers and things back in it, at which point he was able to licence and tax it in the Ambulance group, which I believe is nil duty.
