The first one stopped working when I brought it back on the plane, then the second one stopped working when I brought it back on the plane. I reckon the frigging magnetrons at the airport have goosed the buggers when security 'secured' them

Either way, they're fcuked

turn them on ,,,,open the back up and diconnect the battery ,,,leave for a few mins and reconnect the battery,,,,,D.A.M.H.I.K.I.J.K.

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

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

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' 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

But I didn't need too! there was a guy up front who had the route in his head (Local knowledge ) 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

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

Well you didn't get to do that either this time!!!! Maps rule

ok im prob gonna regret askin this/getting ready for abuse BUT what do you all recommend as sat nav's.......don't like em v much and have managed for last 10 years round Europe with the bare basics ( maps and a cheep atlas ) but did buy a cheep garmin 2610 ( still got it ......but its the size of a bloody brick ) and used it to find hotel/etc when I got to the town I was aiming for ...but its so out of date/old that its not worth takin just for that. so all advice/views appreciated or not

Right all you posh bastids that've moved up to the 660, I won't bore you with all the detail but my 550 cradle is fooked so if any of you have a spare (most of you posh tvats have 2 steads and 2 cradles) and seein as I've not been abusive to yer, and I've asked nicely, yer big girls fookin bloosons' I expect there to be offers a plenty to supply the said cradle

Oh, and I'm prepared to pay the price of a bar end clip unlike some tight tvats.

You flatter yourself Akoojikoo

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.......
