[QUOTE="Stingray, post: 663535, member: 7745"] Hey Grubstake, your comment about touch screens is too true and is another nail in they coffin or fix it yourselfers. But you just reminded me of a mate with a flash 200 series who decided the black screen on the dash would be a good place to attach a suction mount. The screen turned out to be his built in nav unit with touch screen. It stuck on very well, too well, and he broke the screen trying to get the mount off. He had a track on there to a 'secret' spot he had been taken to and was devastated. He had tried to get people to fix it/get the data out but to no avail and by the time I found out he had the system removed and replaced. He had the old one in a box so I thought I would have a go. I managed to power it up which was a mission given the crazy wiring harness it had and with a lot of fiddling/pressing/sliding on the screen I managed (somehow) to get a 'delete waypoints screen' and then a list of waypoints and lat/longs which I photographed for him. And if you're wondering... no he couldn't find the spot from the list, but fortunately when looking for it again later we found a different one. [/QUOTE]
