Plugged the unit in to do some tidying up of routes etc and it asked to do an upgrade. It has the Europe mapping on the unit itself and the USA on the additional micro-USB card.
Over two hours to download and install. I hope BT can maintain an internet connection for that long. It's something they never have managed before.
So once the two hours was up, I checked and it had the little upgrade to do for people's own updates. I must work out how to make changes to maps like this as I often come across speed limits that are wrong, not just temporary but where the local council has changed them. Around this part of Kent it is an epidemic.
Once that was over I checked the routes by clicking on My Routes on the unit. None. Not one. Whaaat?
A moment of panic and a few choice words and I did the IT Crowd favourite of re-booting. Et voila! My Routes are all there including the pre-loaded European routes of interest that came with the unit.
I wanted to make some changes and so I deleted all the routes via "edit" in My Routes and then had a play on MyRouteApp to save the routes and re-install them. I did the three different trip areas, Florida, France in the summer and general routes. There is a ten route limit on exporting and so Florida needed two attempts.
Once on the laptop rather than the cloud, I dragged them to the "internal storage" folder in Windows Explorer. So easy.
On the unit I found that there were over 60 files to choose from. Aah. What was wrong? A quick email to my brother, Neill, and found that all I had to do was open the "internal storage" folder and there they all were. Then delete them! DOH!
Previously I had looked and it was empty. I had expected there to be loads of files.
I then copied all the files over again. When I went to the 410 to import there they were, just the ones I wanted to import. Phew.
Job done.
