Trydan, just carry on following the book for the approach to Club sites it isn't up to following the correct route and got me in a bit of a pickle at St David's but it is very useful! I also got a bit alarmed going to Plymouth Sound when it told,me the road wasn't suitable! I was on the correct road but it was a little disconcerting! That site is notorious for a dodgy approach but worth it when you get there!

We have also got the Garmin Camper sat nav and it nearly foxed me then i thought of course it needs the full length and full weight of unit to work out a suitable route,It still is not 100%,i got a bit worried on one route ,but then a bus came the other way ,and he pulled in to let us pass

If you go into settings, you should see the section for vehicle profile, tap on there and then on outfit, then the spanner you can change the dimensions there. On the task bar at the top when out of settings it will show either a car or the outfit, just tap the icon and you can change from one to the other. I hope that helps.

It definitely differentiates between car and caravan mode so with just the car you can follow it happily. I am however far more cautious now with the caravan in tow. One really weird thing with mine is the start off route from home with caravan it tries to take me a long way round to the main road via a single track road without passing places.That makes no sense at all because the shorter route is a much wider road. As I said please do check and follow the advised route to CC sites. A human being programmed these things

So far I have failed to find the male voice!
Go to settings on your garmin press setting's, scroll to language and keyboard press, scroll to voice language press, scroll to top of page, you have british English James, Kate, and Serena hope this helps you.
