I am in a foul mood. I absolutely HATE and DETEST microsoft.
The sat nav I have has lost its mapping, F knows why. This also happened about 12 months ago and I have to use a relatives Windoze computer to update it. Did I say I HATE and DETEST microsoft?
So you have to wait to get a call from the support team who then tell you that various drivers are not working or are out of date on the PC. Did I say I HATE and DETEST microsoft? Why can't it just work properly when you want it to?
So last time there was a hefty charge from the support team to make the PC work so the update could take place. Guess what, drivers not working again. Did I say I HATE and DETEST microsoft? I am not paying again so if anyone wants a Garmin Nuvi 58 that needs reprogramming you are welcome to it.
If there are no takers I will put a hemmer through it. Did I say I HATE and DETEST microsoft? Wankers.

Me and the missus just use Google maps on our phones, works a treat. Doesn't cater for campervans though so it has taken us down some scary narrow lanes.
We also had a Nuvi with the same problems, and, yep, the update service is shite

Waze on a smart phone works really well.

Apparently, some versions of TomTom will update over WiFi, without having to be connected to a PC. As will newer Garmin models.

I don't bother with sat navs , I prefer arguing with the missus and going the wrong way out of stubbornness meself. 😉

She once said to me... "Turn right back there". 🤨

My Mrs does not know her left from her right. You can imagine the discussions we have had pre sat at days. “No I meant the other left”. “Why did you turn right when I told you to turn left?” after I had turned left.
It was a nightmare, so I bought a TomTom for peace and assurance we were going to arrive at the right place.
