Oh I'm sure he's tried that one Duncan, after the normal go at resets. I mean, every fooka and their Uncle knows to try that one...one of the basics to get you up and running on most electrical gadgets isn't it. Only a dumb fucktard wouldn't think to try that one.

You have NO IDEA how much I would have loved to see you lead the ride out around Wales a week ago last Satdee... with a map lol lol lol lol

The photos I would have taken... the hours of video pawing over some limp soggy plastic coated, condensation dampened paper full o' squiggly lines. It would have been... FOOKIN EPIC :notworthy) :mrgreen:

Taz- before I bought the 660 I read up on the reviews here there and about the place. When you posted up about the 660, your post sounded very much like the 'Rodger' rant on Amazon. Given the suspiciously close proximity of names AND the content of the said review... well... I have a sneaky suspicion it might be you lol lol

But I didn't need too! there was a guy up front who had the route in his head (Local knowledge :thumbsup) ) But I do lead one in the borders every year, where I have the route in my head (Local knowledge) and we haven't lost anyone yet! stop and take pics with confidence, and re-group at the next junction etc.
How did we manage before twat-nav :-?

Yeah I know, I've done more than a few wet, dark miles with maps but fair's fair... most people who buy satnav, do so because they're bored of riding round and round and round home a lot. Many end up abroad and none ever care about whether the bloke at the front of the ride is leading or lost, because they already know where they are and can get wherever they want to be with a couple of button clicks :mrgreen:

How did we mange before toilet roll... How did we manage before motorbikes... how did we manage before penicillin... how did we manage without fins and gills... how did we manage with only two legs... really, who fookin cares! Sat nav pal. Because there's nothing like that feeling of finding map readers who get lost, then take them back to the rest of the ride again :mrgreen:

Well after doing some research i can confirm the Zumo 660 is a pile of shite - it's got more bugs than tims underwear, constantly does weird things without reason, i'd stay well away. But don't take my word for it, join zumoforums.com and read for yourself, yer pays yer money etc....... :thumbsup)
