 |
|
Hi all,
I have just bought my first ever GPS - a 3128 Myguide with European maps from Ebuyer. I am not computer savvy and know nothing about GPS so its been okay to follow the simple instructions for postcode navigation etc.
However - how do i access the european maps??? Where are they?? can anyone help?? |

The device should just display the European maps if you scroll the map to the continent. You do not have to 'switch maps' or anything like that. If iGO has the maps on board, it will just seamlessly display them.
And by the way, welcome to the PGPSW forums  |

Is that the MyGuide 3218 from eBuyer ? If so it has TurboDog software and I'm afraid you're in the wrong forum for advice on that. Have you tried creating a route to Paris for example ?

Then send it back to eBuyer as unfit for purpose, they advertise it as complete with Western European mapping.

As far as I understand before MyGuide went bankrupt they used to install iGO, but since eBuyer bought most of the bankrupt stock they have installed TurboDog which I believe is one of their own incarnations.
