update details., 11 Nov 2009

This review is from: Garmin Nümaps - Full European Lifetime Map Updates for Nuvi series (Electronics)

update took about 2hrs on good broadband connection, back of pack states you need 1gb ram and 15gb hard drive space for download. i have a 1.24gb and the storage space although the main download file was only 3.46gb. when it came to uploading to my garmin nuvi 255 which had a europe map on it, it said i didn't have room for the whole file and i had to select a file to load - uk and eire which didn't take long to load. the other maps are on my laptop and i guess if i need them i can easily put them on instead or it says to use an sd card. this lifetime update has certain provisos - 1 its only for a single device not transferrable 2 if it dies, unlucky although i would try and plead my case 3 only for as long as garmin use their current map supplier - how long is a piece of string? voted hot and if i get more than 1 update i'll probably be quids in.
didn't come with any decent instructions but go to garmin site and after registering and connecting your gps select activate gift card and type in your activation code - once done the only minor snag i had was a window saying i had to close all windows to continue after closing the internet connection and restarting it worked fine. ps see HUKD search garmin and get it for about £68 from comet.

Good product - once you've got it installed . . ., 9 Oct 2009

DLS (London, UK) -

This review is from: Garmin Nümaps - Full European Lifetime Map Updates for Nuvi series (Electronics)

The maps are great - only had one problem turning off a brand new motorway in Poland. Used it as a handheld getting around Dresden on foot/public transport, plotting attractions and restaurants. Really pleased.

This giftcard option is cheaper than buying direct from Garmin, and I like the idea of updates for not so much more than a one-off. Not experienced an update yet so can't comment on that.

The hassle was with getting it all set up. The Garmin website! - finding the relevant sections for download and support is a pain. Their helpline will sort you out, but that is useless if you are doing it out of hours - the email support takes days to get back to you

As others have said, download to PC takes forever, but you can leave it to run.

Maybe, if my Nuvi 200W hadn't been a present, I would have known it has insufficient memory to load all of Europe into it. But I didn't, so was confused when I tried to load the maps as you could only chose one (various options of individual countries or regions). Whatever you load overwrites the exisitng map on the satnav - but you can change/reinstall. The install software isn't particularly fast.

To use the whole Europe map, I had to buy a 2MB (maximum) standard SD card and SD card reader and load the map onto that.

Just wish there had been some Garmin website guidance on all this so that it didn't turn into a last minute nightmare. I deducted one star for the hassle

Confusion over different product key, 15 Sep 2010

Brookhaven "Eddie" (Sussex, UK) -

This review is from: Garmin Nümaps - Full European Lifetime Map Updates for Nuvi series (Electronics)

Having just bought this (as the price had come down to £61), I went ahead and tried to download. The first thing that happened was that everything stalled as I had to download a new browser plugin.

Having done that I was a bit concerned that it might have eaten my product key, and when I reviewed my account, the map update was shown with a different product key,
and an expiry date 12 months from download. I was a bit concerned about this, so I contacted Garmin and this is the reply they sent so me...

"The map download in your account is designed to expire after one year.
This is only for the current map download in your account and will not
affect your lifetime map update subscription. When the next map update
is available it will also be available to download in your account for
one year or until the next update is downloaded.

Each mapping download will have a different product key, when you start
to download you will be given a new product key for the new mapping
update."

Hope this helps.

Conclusion - download the plugins before you use the update card!

Having fitted the sensor to my wife's car - and it worked - I bought another for my own car! You just have to be sure that you are happy to take the rear bumper off - then you just follow the instructions. Best bit - no drilling of holes in the bumper - and no one else knows that you have the sensor fitted!

Best check first, 4 Oct 2010

B. Wallis (Midlands UK) -

This review is from: Electromagnetic Parking Sensor "No Holes" - Parking Dynamics PD1 - Rear (Electronics)

Before ordering this item I suggest that you visit the company's website (which is excellent) to understand how the system works and then check that the inside of you rear bumper is flat so you will be able to install the antenna. I didn't ! I ordered the product, which came very quickly, and then removed the rear bumper from my Mercedes ML270 only to that the ribbed construction meant there was nowhere to fit the antenna. I spoke to the company and they admitted that they knew of a handful of cars that the product did not suit and agree to give me a refund. Pity really as it looks like a good piece off kit and the company are easy to deal with.

Good bit of kit, 23 Nov 2009

DB (Bristol, UK) -

This review is from: Electromagnetic Parking Sensor "No Holes" - Parking Dynamics PD1 - Rear (Electronics)

This is a clever piece of kit - fitted it to my wife's spider in 3 hours and works really well. The only reason I gave it 4* instead of 5 was that the adhesive on the foil aerial was not brilliant. Even though I cleaned the inside of the bumper so you could eat your dinner off it, it would not stick very well so I put insulating tape over it. I expect I'll have to take the bumper off again to do a more permanent fix (the suggestion is to use windscreen mastic) however that has not put me off giving this a good review.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)

This review is from: Garmin Dezl 560LT 5" Truck/Caravan Sat Nav with Europe Maps and Lifetime Traffic Subscription (Electronics)

I have been using the Garmin 465, and now got the Dezl 560 as a present from my wife.
The 465 is very good but the Dezl 560 is even better, it has a bigger screen and a very load speaker.
In general it will take you a safe route for your size and weight of your truck, but if you do have to go to a road with a weight limit on it, it keeps warning you which can be a bit of a pain. That said it does its job very well and in the main it is a bit of kit that can be trusted to get you where you need to be without to many problems.
I would highly recommend it.

This review is from: Garmin Dezl 560LT 5" Truck/Caravan Sat Nav with Europe Maps and Lifetime Traffic Subscription (Electronics)

Like many I started with TOM TOM when buying my first Sat Nav but I changed to Garmin and have now purchased my third Garmin Sat Nav. I wanted this particular one so that I could feed in the dimensions of my motor-home and so obtain most suitable routes. I have not been dissapointed, it is excellent. The larger screen is good as is the definition, the information shown, such as junctions and the louder speaker means that I can drive more confidently and comfortably. A brilliant instrument I gladly recommend.
