Is that San Sebastian Donastia ? (Don't know if there is another).
We had 2 marvelous nights there, in a hotel, with our room overlooking the bay/town. Good memories from that.

Never actually stopped there, have driven through it several times, the first time, we became hopelessly lost, and ended up in a coach station. We were usually driving that route in early January, if the weather was not too bad, we usually tried to avoid it by going inland and use the Somport Tunnel (Free).

The Bolt v3, I have the v1 already but there starting to develop problems. Also I'd just like colour maps, not sure exactly what else it does yet.
I had an Elemnt v1 which was smashed in my RTC. I now have the Roam 2 which has a colour screen. I didn't want colour but there was no choice. I now enjoy colour and feel at home with it.

My Elemnt was black and white with good contrast which I found helpful. Initially I found the colour contrast difficult until someone on here suggested turning on the black background function. Contrast is now very good for me.

Hot happy. Just collected my new glasses, varifocals as normal. Up close theyre lovely, but distance theyre no better than the naked eye. Wouldn't feel comfortable driving in them.

The cost me £600 and I went to a small opticians in the hope of a better product (the wat Specsavers cut their lenses leaves too small a field of view to read comfortably) and I'm very disappointed.

The optician isn't in today so im back next week to see what's gone wrong. The only good news is they're only a 10 minute stroll away so it won't waste huge swathes of time or fuel.

Thanks for the tip.
