    Amateur Photographer Forums

    LRUK Forums is still going, I see; probably thanks to Big Sandy, one of the founders. I was a moderator there for a few years until it went quiet due to the rise of Fæcesbook groups. :-(

    Scam?

    It's not a new phenomenon; remember back in the days of b&w tv, the way the picture faded into a white dot in the middle of the screen when you turned it off? That was the camera lens hidden behind the screen. Men sitting in dark rooms in front of banks of tv monitors were watching you all the...

I started using the loose TomTom I had instead and quickly found it to be far more user-friendly than the factory-mounted one LR unit.
