i believe you need to then edit the country details on the satnav as it will be set to the uk, so swap it to say france

The answer I would assume be pertinent to any SatNav, so when you change country does the keyboard change characters to suit the countries language. |

Greetings SD4Cat You're going to do all that in 3 weeks - tell me: When are going to stop and eat, sleep and pooh? ![]() But seriously, as other replies have alluded to there is no problem entering a "foreign" address etc so long as yiou have a disc inserted into your Sat Nav that's for the country in which you are searching a location. I'd recommend you have a play with the system first. On a 4k road trip to Spain a couple of years back my dear Lady (very high IQ) did some navigation with the Sat Nav and all went well. A few months later on a trip into Italy every time she put in a new search for a hotel in the approaching city it directed her there alright, but, only via Spain ![]() She'd simply forgotten to delete one of her saved Spanish "VIA" points ![]() Finally, if you need any information on CH or FL - just ask. Happy to oblige. Last edited by athelstan on 9th Mar 2012 11:42 am. Edited 1 time in total |

Thanks E Yorkshire - I think entering a French address was a cop out as there are no odd characters in the address he entered! I don't think I could even reproduce those Czech names on this keyboard let alone the Sat nav one!

Well if you think it was a cop out go out to your car and work it out yourself |

Remember to buy your Swiss motorway vignette. It is CHF40 and will last you until the 31st Dec 2013 - buy it at the Swiss Customs Border Post or any Swiss Post Office. If you are caught using a Swiss motorway without one the fine is CHF120 plus the CHF40 for the vignette - that's a total of approximately GBP£115 penalty ![]() |

Thank you I had no idea I needed such a thing. As I am driving from liechtenstein into Switzerland will there be a stop on the motorway where I can purchase this vignette without having to head off motorway? What do I know....I'm only an Essex girl |
