Bought a 522GW last month used it a few times using the suction mount.

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

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.

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. 

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...

Can you see the flaw in this approach?

Not one of you have picked up on my mistake yet.

522GW is a dah cam and not a Sat Nav .

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

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.
