thanks for the advice but this is a last ditch attempt before I take it back and I have a c320 which is great so wanted to stick to garmin so we could share maps

philious,
How much did you pay for the c510 ?It was £199 now it's down to £149 in Currys but I just bought the C510D with traffic / europe maps etc for £199 from Halfords. If you paid the higher price then definitely worth taking back and getting upgraded model from Halfords.

Hi and thanks for the reply
Yes I got it for £150.00, and I left it connected to the pc last night and it seems the battery needed a good charge as its working now 8O
as stated above I own a c320 and its great which I paid £200 for but got a ac charger and ciggy socket charger and the instructions said to fully charge first but the c510 said nothing like it needed charging first.
so you get the traffic extra for free with the c510deluxe model do you, the c510 has the option for traffic but you need to puchase an attachement of some sort to receive the signal. My missus was borrowing or lending I should said mine to go shopping and friends houses but now she doesn't need to lend mine
thanks to you all for the replys
Phil
