Well after a whole day of fiddling and testing I still haven't broken it.

Its a brilliant bit of kit with a clear screen and easy to use, the navigation side of the system uses snooper software and you can choose to have a caravan/trailer on and how long and wide it is or be a motorhome to stop you going down narrow or low routes. So ideal to getting to events or laning.You can also download speed cameras updates for £29 a year.

 I bought a 16gb sd card and installed it so I have the whole of the UK 1 to 50,000 and most of France in memory map format and also all of morocco in fugawi format. So ideal for all your offroading.

Just remember you can only install your maps in a maximum of 400mb sections because the processor can't open larger sections of map at a time just like a PDA.

One more thing, the screen favours the use of a stylus rather than fingers.

The bluetooth is easy to connect to with your mobile phone and easy to use with brilliant sound quality, the only downside is you loose the mapping or navigation whilst on a call.

Will all that don't forget you also have freeview TV built in so good for camping and keeping the kids happy.

The system attaches to the screen by a well built suction mount so is easy to transfer.

More updates to follow with more playing.

I use memory map with a solid-state hard drive laptop Asus Eee PC S101, and a Bluetooth GPS receiver

http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/1183/bluenext-bn-905gr-bluetooth-gps-receiver

works brilliantly, but I don't have a laptop mount for my 110 and the passengers' seat is not ideal. Any suggestions?

Any laptop with Bluetooth will work but I choose the Asus because it has a solid state hard drive, doesn't mind bouncing around in a Landy  Cheesy Also it has a direct 12V power adapter, goes into cigarette lighter socket  Grin

The complete UK set of OS 1:50.000 and 1:25.000 can be downloaded at:

Legal Huh Likely not to work with the new Memory Map Adventurer 2800, it asks for CD unlock code
