Yes. But if you have pre-prepared your route avoiding the known problem areas, you'll be ok is what I think was meant.
The alternative is a 2 device system, something pinging you alerts in the ear from say, a phone, and then a legal satnav on the dash ;)

I have to say, I have been "saved" more than once in the past by the Zumo....

Havnt heard anything like that here, all the French are interested in is the Brexit negotiations and the total bollox that goes with it. Only the odd person has asked if I'm returning to the UK, but everyone else is cool. Vive la revolution :lol: :lol: :lol:

I received a speeding fine yesterday from a trip to sarges last September! 82 in a 70.

Are they having a mass dish out in case they become invalid or something?
