It's called drive

Scroll across to the right to the menu , go down the list to here drive click on it, and away you go, you might have to download maps depending on what version you got but on most of them it's already done

All thanks for valuable advice received.
I've just ordered the Snooper Ventura Pro sound DB8500 with DAB Digital Radio and free Lifetime Updates.
My appreciation with all replies.

Has anyone else noticed that tomtom did not get a mention in this thread; not that I am singing their praises. I have spent for too many hours of my life figuring out updates and being told to use Firefox instead of chrome. I keep a detailed file of all the things I've figured out so I don't have to relearn it.

Personally I wouldn't waste money on a Snooper I had one and got a full refund it was bloody rubbish.
We use a £99 Halfords cheapy Garmin does exactly the same as the stupidly expensive Snooper.
However last month we downloaded Copilot onto the IPhone and used that on a 3000 mile trip around France Italy Germany Holland and Brlgium. It was at least as good as the Garmin and had much better options for route planning and has a motorhome setting.
Cost £34 I think so much cheaper than any satnav and far superior to TomTom or Snooper. Only downside the phone needs to be on a charge hookup as it murders the battery.
Oops just saw you're already sorted

I appreciate your feed back Forestboy but I have had 3 Satnav over the years.
The first was very temperamental and was very often going wrong. It was called - The Wife!
The second was Navman that didn't allow all of the postcode so only got you within a stones throw so I then reverted to the first satnav to get to destination. Again, very temperamental.
The third was Snooper that I used most successfully since 2008. The only reason for purchasing a new one is because the 12v lead is no longer available. Tried Maplins but none of their plugs fit. AlsoI need a map update.
P.S We are still married after 42 years.

Buy a brand new one updatedevery year for eight years and still have change in your pocket compared to a snoop pooper that will by then have given up the ghost

when my TomTom screen failed in Portugal last year I downloaded copilot onto my iPad and I'm really pleased with it.

Will copilot work with an IPad mini Retina display (same as iPad Air ) none cellular?

don't see why not but not sure.

My understanding is that the ipad and ipad mini non cellular do not have gps and so it cannot work as a satnav.

Thanks for the info night owl. Garmin nuvi it is then, it actually worked well for todays 56km trip from Arranches to Tinteniac.
