Garmin's advice worked!  Pretty stupid though having to remove the battery to reset the unit and needing a tiny alan key to do so.  The unit didn't need updating as it has the latest software.  But I am suspect about the battery as it is still not working from it.  Maybe it is flat.  But it is working in the bike mount and from mains power.  So now I am programming the routes and I am off to Boone to find a ski shop to buy a neck wind breaker and a fleece, as it bloody cold outside.  Thankgod it is sunny.  Today I am riding the Blue Ridge Parkway road that goes for about 150 mi and magnificent windy roads.  But is 10:30am already so I need to pull my finger out.  Yeaha...! :)

Hiya James,

Great reading you lucky bastard. Dorothy crashed her car and wrote it of on Thursday. She is completely unhurt and seemed to take it all in her stride. It was her fault and she hit 2 other cars. The cops will charge her with failing to give way. No damage done to anyone, but her driving days are over. Her number is 612 649 51 651
