Plan for today
Well my plan for today was to put some more effort into the blog and then go and get the latest update to the car graphics. I had hope to update the Garmin Satnav with update software and European Maps. Surely as easy as pie - pay the fee, download the maps and port to the device. Not so - they say dont try to update the maps withour first updating the firmware? Well as a geeking (sort of bloke) I though - give it a go! Bad, bad idea - I got the files onto the DVD and followed the instructions. Seemed to need on a Bluetooth update - not the OS! Click on OK and wait... and wait!
Two hours on and I'm still waiting!
Plan B was to dust of the TomTom - get inspiration about having POIs - waste for ever talking to TomTom - end up explaining what an electric car is and what a charging point is. To be fair they did come back 2 hours later with a web-site which show that Slovakia has 100s of chargers - but London has only 1!
There is no one out there trying to help EVs get mobile across Europe!
Reverted to what I could do - packed my bag and loaded the car!
Ready for the graphics update at lunch-time - message comes in cancelled! So the grapics will now be done on Departure - 2! Thats is an improvement on Highland Charge, where I lost the car for 4 days - only to get it back at Departure - 6 hours!
I was also hoping to hear from Plugsurfing, who rumoured delivery of software for Android and iPad Apps. Well they too are my 'Dream On List' for the last days/hours!
We are getting there - its just not a linear process!
