I'm in the process of reverting it to an older version of Android that worked just fine. Problem is, I think I've bricked the phone....

Googlemaps. Timings are completely bunk for motorbike trips on our good Scottish roads. How can I plan things like GM 2015 when the timings are Way Off?

Also why aren't there any decent places to eat lunch for 30 to 40 odd bikers on the routes I want to think about?

Most of all, why am I looking at plans for GM 2015 when I said I wasn't doing it again!!!

Having to work on your birthday, when you'd rather be doing anything else - cleaning toilets would be more fun...

Any particular one? There appears to be quite a few.

I found the cure for that was to go ride it and time it myself means good time out on the bike & getting to see what the roads are really like!
