Clearing address book (satnav)
Clearing address book (satnav)
Not read the manual yet, but does anyone know how to clear the Nav computer from all addresses and destinations?

Re: Clearing address book (satnav)
You have to go into the address/destination book for the Satnav and delete the entries one at a time, and what I then did I was to set the Dealer's location as the last one used so the flag wasn't left on my home address etc.
I don't think there is a way of 'bulk deleting' the lot. Doesn't take long though.
At least you remembered though. A lot of people don't and our Dealer said they never clear things, but agreed that actually it was a good idea. Same as my home address is never stored that way, only in a way that means something to me, and the system isn't left with the home address as the last used. Paranoid - yup..

Re: Clearing address book (satnav)
Thanks X5Sport, will do that when I have finished swapping the wheels over (in well into minus temperatures ...
)
Well, my "labels" are in Dutch so that would confuse them
And my "home" location is in The Netherlands so rather a long drive ...
