Is anyone still using their GVN60? I'm having a problem with mine, now: when the interface loads up, the message appears "Memory is full". If I okay that, the device loads okay, and shows my current position on the map without any problem. If, however, I try to plan a route, another message appears: "Cannot calculate the route", and this has (once) been followed by "Route memory is full". I've tried removing the various histories, and even reset from the menu, but no change. Garmin support say they only cover the maps themselves, and Kenwood don't have an answer, other than that it may be a hardware issue. I've looked at the device but there doesn't seem to be a reset button. Has anyone else experienced this, or have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Oh God, I used to love that book! I remember my father bought it when it first came out (he was an AA member at the time), and I would spend ages poring over the fold-out maps looking for the wildlife symbols, and looking at the gorgeous illustrations and photos. Whenever I saw that book, I was instantly on holiday in my mind. I must see if we still have a copy somewhere, you've whetted my appetite!

Turn your phone on its side! (I'm so sorry, I know that's mean of me, I just couldn't resist! Please forgive me!)

The new 5.1 Beta version of Carista now enables battery registration for VAG vehicles.

Just a couple of additions to AlastairHeff's excellent guide: if you have a Mac, you can also use the app "The Unarchiver" he mentioned to extract the GUPDATE.GCD file, no need for Windows! Also, you can find the most up-to-date map files (2020.30) here: https://www.navitotal.com/new-maps/city-navigator-europe-ntu-2020-fid-8360-t21582.html . Allegedly.

I don't know if this has changed on more recent models, but certainly on my 2015 SE-L Estate the answer is "yes" on all three counts. The seat bases do fold forwards (with a slight step), and can be removed altogether. Having done that, the rear seat backs do fold flat (I find it helps to remove the headrests first). I should add, I do have the variable boot floor (for the dog!).

I have an early (May 2015) Tsi 90 SEL Estate, and on that, you can rotate the rear seat squabs forward and then either leave them up against the back of the from seats or remove them altogether. Once that is done, you can then fold the rear seat backs flat, although depending how far back the front seats are, it is sometimes necessary to remove the rear headrests too. I'm in Bristol as well, so very happy if you want to arrange a side-by-side comparison (stop s******ing at the back, Pearson!).
