Cheers....

Welcome back!

This is the one I bought last time DealExtreme: $47.70 Car 2.4GHz Wireless Rear View Parking NTSC Night Vision Camera and Receiver Set (DC 12V) however it was faulty, so I sent it back and got a refund. I'll let you know how my replacement goes. BTW DX will refund not only the item price, but also shipping costs back to Hong Kong for any item DOA. Pretty good service that.

PS - thanks for the tip about Gordon Country! Spent a lovely long weekend out there a while ago

Once you have found the GPS.ini file in the GPS menu folder, you can shuffle your icons around and add or remove them as you wish. (Especially if you save a backup copy before you start.)

if you particularly want part of your background visible or if you have too many icons, you can make two rows.

So you can have this:



instead of this:

Glad you enjoyed the place Ranga.... always plenty of firewood around especially for the winter camps.

I don't know if it's just mine or are others experiencing this.
If I put my unit into sleep mode instead of powering off it comes back to the GPS screen but is locked up and nothing happens. If I press the button on the top and power down and restart all comes up fine. Sometimes it totally locks up when returning from sleep and can't power down and have to press the reset button.
Does anyone know a fit for this or do I just power down all the time.

I haven't ever had that happen. I just tried Garmin, Tom Tom, Igo and Oziexplorer and they all behaved as they should.

Are you talking about having it in Sleep mode for a long time, like sveral days or weeks? is it possible that it has something to do with the battery running down because it is in Sleep mode for so long?

Is that background near the breakaways out Coober Pedy way?

It does this on , Tom Tom and Igo8 app not sure about ozi as I haven't played with it yet. It happens if I put it into sleep and go into the shops and return or battery runs down, when I power on it's locked up. It shows the last place I was and looks normal but the screen does not respond.

It is a bit further north, halfway between Cadney on the Stuart Highway and Oodnadatta. It is part of the Painted Desert or Painted Hills, depending on which map you look at.
Have a look here.
