    Thanks for the report back. Where I got stuck was the inability to add the little image file which as you say is no longer an option. There is also a limit now on POI file size so something like Archies has to be loaded country by country which fortunately Archie does allow for. I hit a problem with loading the data file so must have another go!

    Has you chewing the carpet, doesn't it. After numerous abortive attempts with the MacBook - TomTomHome interface for me, I dug out an old WinXP machine out of the garage and after two hours I had an updated map downloaded to the USB stick. Off now to load it in the MH. Wish me luck. Not sure if I dare trying POI's.

    NB. One thing I noticed was the inability was the inability to make a backup of the "Uconnect 5" Radio Nav" - this is not supported in this model.

    BB, DK, AD have any of you looked at the Aguri?  we have been looking at the Aguri 720 which says it has all the ACSI, C&MC, CCC etc preloaded and has a built in Dashcam all for £259.99. Just wondering if it would be good value.

    Cheers BB, Phil has had some sort of success with Garmin and TomTom in the past but it would appear I have lost the Garmin surprised we had it last year at some point. When we went to get out the vehicle at a shop I put it away (allegedly) now 'we' can't find it.

    We still have the TomTom but its an older model and no longer has the lifetime maps on it. 

    We looked at a Falcon satnav while at the Glasgow show which like the Aguri has everything preloaded, however no dashcam built in and a bit more expensive. 

    I would just like one that has everything like C&MC, C&CC, Acsi, Archies on it so that I don't have to listen to him having a meltdown when he can't load anything to it laughing he would like to have a dashcam and satnav all in one so its one less thing to have to plug in and sit on the dash. Anything for an easy life these days I get enough grief elsewhere don't need it when we go away, just want nice and stress free touring.laughing

    Thanks for your kind offer BB. My problem is that the satnav is built in so I can't plug it directly to a PC to manipulate it. On uploading the map from the USB, I noticed that it appeared to wipe the previous map prior to uploading the latest. It also deletes all the files from the USB at the conclusion of the exercise so I don't even have a copy of the map other than the one in the MH satnav. There is no facility to make a backup of the system either. It does make one rather nervous.

    I don't make a great use of POIs, so prudence suggests to me that it might be better to just have those on an app on the phone or iPad.
