Hi
Yesterday I picked up my 500 MultiJet Lounge - so I am posting 2 or 3 threads with some newbie questions about various aspects :
I have the Blue&Me Map - Sat Nav
I bought this because I like the dashboard-mount - no wires.
Also I like the proper integration to the Blue&Me - so it dips the radio/audio to read the navigation commends 'turn right' etc.
I've not had Sat Nav before - my phone has a cut-down Google Maps/GPS/Directions thing - but not true SatNav.
*** 2 main questions :
o I drove on a (relatively) new peice of by-pass yesteray - but the B&M Map didn't know about it so I was effectively driving in fields on the screen - it got quite confused - I assume somewhere I download and update the maps .? How can I tell the version/age of the maps I have .? The Help/About tells me about the speed camera database... Any help there please.
o I dont seem to be able to do a full postcode search - I input the first 1/2 of the postcode - it then offers me the next set of numbers - then wants street names - I live deep in rural Cornwall. Most roads dont have a name and most houses dont have a number - so as an example I wouldn't be able to find my own house even if I knew the full postal address. Again, help or suggestions please.
Thanks in advance for all help.
