Title: Sat Nav Repairs
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 20 August 2021, 22:42:50
Bought a 522GW last month used it a few times using the suction mount. :y

Went out yesterday, Mounted it on the screen and it fell off twice, fitted it a 3rd time and off we went. :y

Got home started unplugging stuff and of course couldnt get the 522 away from the screen (or the 512 mounted next to it)  tried all sorts and ended up sliding a credit card under the edge to break the suction and as you can imagine it dropped into the footwell and hit a metal objest smahing the screen. :'(

Any one know if they do repairs at nextbase (cant find anything online) or a repair service anywhere?

Also guesiing the credit card doesnt cover me for accidental damage.

T.I.A. :y

What's the advantage of buying a stand alone Sat Nav these days when Google maps on a phone is so good?  ???  :-\

I like a map.  :y

It's good to see where you are heading and how you are going to get there when going somewhere unfamiliar, rather than just following some robotic bints instructions.  :)

That said, I always put Google maps on even when doing a familiar route as it's great for finding an alternative route if there's a problem ahead, and whenever I ignore a reroute I get stuck in some horrible jam.  ::)

You could always let them drive whilst you navigate from the back seat supping a glass of Bolli...

Oh wait...  :D

I knew what you meant so I ignored the mistake, as I have a 522GW with rear cam added on mine.  :y

Just phoned them to start RMA procedure.

£40.60 to replace the screen
£60+ if the LCD membrane is damaged (+screen)

Prices not too bad.
