Has anyone else had experience with the Garmin sat nav?
I don't seem able to locate the web page for them. It is in the book as www.garmin.com

Anything in particular that you're looking for on the site?
Ive got an etrex GPS from them, which I'm quite happy with, just been out doing a Daubenton waterway survey with it in fact. |

Works fine for me too. Wonder if it could be blocked on your pc. Firewall or something. |

Is your ISP blocking it for some bizarre reason, I wonder?
Can you see the google cache of it if you google for garmin, and then click on "cache" instead of the actual link?
This probably won't get you further than the main page, but... it might. |

I'd say that it looks like they are blocking it, but for the life of me, I can't imagine why.
A slow and horrible work-around would be to hover over the link you want, make a note of the key words that form the address of that link, and google for them (so eg "garmin outdoor").
You should then be able to get to the google cache for each page when it comes up in the search results. Far from ideal though.
It might be worth getting in touch with your ISP's customer service people - but I wouldn't hold out too much hope.
Alternatively find someone with the same ISP and get them to see if they can see the pages - that would tell you if it is Orange or not. | |
