URL please. I don't believe that's Apple authored copy. You may have been fooled into thinking it was.
No. It's definitely crap.

If you spent more time RTFM, the Nav 6 one... you'd know what your doing, we'd have been saved from this tedious thread and the poor bods at Garmin would not have to keep bittng their lips and reminding themselves that the customer is right and not a goofy plank.

But you write as though you are.
If the attention you give to your device is the same as that given to your prose I think we have found a common factor.
Some folk continually expect/need their arses wiping.
They can't find anything just from the max speed display. I think the only date and time info available would be the history saved. As far as I am aware this facility is limited to recent trips. There is a facility to delete this anyway.
In theory the authorities could seize the SatNav on the spot and download the trip history, they could then see exactly where the device shows high speeds. I certainly can do this using Mapsource but as I said the records don't go very far back being limited to a few day's info.
My "lock him up and throw away the key" max speed was recorded in Germany two years ago. If I were to ride well above the limit now I would be erasing my trip history just in case but I would not worry about the max speed reading as there is no way of proving anything concrete from it. There is no way to prove the device was being used in or on any one vehicle. These are portable devices, if you take one on a plane and have it switched on you might get a very interesting max speed reading!

Most of the manuals are at this url https://support.apple.com/manuals/iphone keep expanding the bottom of the page to find it, in all honesty there are many, covering all the range apple do, its odd that for something that is so easy and intuative to use, you would think that your 2 page manual that covered every thing would be enough, there is even a finger tips guide as they call it that really is just a quick start guide that gives you just the basics its here https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA617/en_US/iPhone_Finger_Tips_Guide.pdf I had a look and its only 2 pages long would this be the manual you refer to that has everything in you need to know to operate an i phone.
Appologies Richard and all if my replies to hubcap have made this thread spiral out of sight, i will suggest to hubcap we take it to PM.
Spoilsport!
He, hubcap, can't do PM's as he's not a site subscriber, the £12 maybe being seen as a rip-off if all he wants to do is rant and moan, gathering around him other like minds, each more determined than the other to find fault with their premium priced, oh so complicated, piece of crap, that they were conned into buying, instead of staying with Waze - which always tells them where to go, which is why Uber drivers from Senegal use it to navigate Bristol - on their (expensive) mobile phone.
As to the rest? Crack on, as they say.

OxfordDictionary definition of 'Forum': A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
Just doing what is expected in a forum, Mr Wapping.
Cicero you ain't mate, trust me.
Yeah, we've all seen your view, listened to your many problems and frustrations and, not least, tried,where possible, to help you and others like you.
Now, have you taken it back and got a refund yet? Yes? Great, mate. No? Well, more fool you, as it's now just an expensive lump of plastic and widget shite, eating away at your soul and ruining your bikermate experience.
PS Talking of forums. We all know what happened to Caesar on his way there.

I'm afraid you are mistaken, Leedude.
The text above which you use to support your argument comes from a site that has nothing to do with Apple. It appears to be a site aimed at gullible people selling them a dodgy and ultimately expensive set of videos.
Unfortunately there are a lot of sites like this with a low initial price and then when you have committed to the initial purchase they charge a much bigger price to access the additional videos. I hope you didn't fall foul of that.
Apple don't charge for their guides or help videos. You can probably see, if you look at it again, that the site design, typeface and style of copy is nothing like Apple's. Not that Apple would be likely to write things like 'Simple tasks such as sending text messages and importing contacts can be difficult to a new iPhone user.' I'd have thought that would be obvious.
Furthermore the domain name applevideoguides.com looks like it is banned from renewing:
https://icann.org/epp#clientDeleteProhibited
Domain Status: clientRenewProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientRenewProhibited
Domain Status: clientTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited
Domain Status: clientUpdateProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientUpdateProhibited
Name Server: ns37.domaincontrol.com
Name Server: ns38.domaincontrol.c
I'll take Wapping's hint though and park the argument here.

Sorry hubcap you should have made it clear as to what part of what i had said it was that you were trying to rip to shreds yet again that was false, in this case you are indeed correct looking back at that page it is not from apple i was WRONG i do not mind admitting that .
But if some people are willing to write or produce videos and guides to operate an in your words what should be a simple device it begs the question is it really that simple. including as you say (Apple don't charge for their guides or help videos) why on earth do they make them
I see you give no reply to your 2 page manual giving everyone everthing they need to know about there i phone, or your 95 year old farther being able to do what i refered to having never seen or used one, or any other of my comments that i had made to try and answer your questions as best as i could, but you were very keen on putting me down on a mistake, oh well never mind such is life.
You see you have now proved yourself to be the type of person i thought you might be, one who is unwilling to admit they are wrong over certain things and ungratefull to people who have tried to help, because their views do not fit in with yours, even when correct, I can take it on the chin when proved wrong and appologise, and will gladly bow to others superior knowledge over things i know little about.
You on the other hand, well i will let your own words give an example.
In a previous post by you you made the comment Quote ( I followed the link you kindly provided to seek out a manual for my Nav 6 on the Garmin site. Unfortunately Garmin do not list a manual for the device. I rest my case re shit Customer Experience and shit Customer education from Garmin. I would comment that while you accuse us of not listening, you don't look. ) and subsequently when a correct link was posted to the very manual you were asking about you replied with nothing, no thanks, no oh well done thank you for the link , no appologies, zilch , bugger all, not a sausage.
This is the type of person you are, sorry but i will make no attempt to help you any more.
Oh and here is a link to the thread should anyone think i made it up http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showth...me-Get-a-refund-or-persevere-with-pain-Take-2

If sat navs were properly designed and intuitive to use we wouldn't have threads like this - the length of this thread alone clearly demonstrates the fact they leave an awful lot to be desired.
That's it. Enough is enough.
This one is going around in enough circles to shame even Nutty.
I have started a fresh thread, pulling the key bits out of this thread.
