I bought a Garmin C310 on Ebay the other week as a gift for my mum, help her find places, like the kitchen and all that...anyway, the seller put on the advert 'scratch on screen from use'. So when it arrived I was a little upset to see that the lead didn't actually connect to anything (handy) and the scratch on the screen was like a scale model of the Grand Canyon only deeper. I can only assume the previous owner was Edward Scissorhands or Freddy Kruger, if you've got knives for fingers you're screwed aren't you? no wonder Kruger was so upset all the time.

To add insult to injury, I thought I'd test out the new system and to start with I was impressed...that is, until I asked it to take me to MacDonalds..the one I could see out the car window, 500 ft away. It brought up a huge list, I clicked the closest one at the top and off it went.

The route wasn't what I thought, it took me away from Macdonalds, but I trusted it..until I saw the arrival time (bear in mind it was 10pm) 1.04am. Now either it was taking me somewhere a long way away or the previous owner had been a snail with no legs or whatever they use to move...and scissors for hands. It turns out the satnav couldn't see any MacD's less than 104 miles away, nice.

So needless to say, I've contacted the snail with scissors for hands and no legs asking for a refund and several other things, like how does he live etc.
