Teletrac Smartnav

[Stevieg]

Hi i have had my berlingo for a couple of months and my smartnav keeps switching itself off and rebooting itself, but when you have set a destination it works but the screen is blank, can any one help, also how do you get hold of a user manual for the teletrac smartnav

I know it's very tempting to just reiterate the "throw it away" opinion most of us seem to share, but you really ought to be able to expect it to stay switched on! Make sure the little usb connector is undamaged & clean and is a snug fit in the unit. If still no good, call them and ask for help. It is after all something you paid for.
As for a manual, you might be lucky, but I asked when I bought the van and they said there wasn't one available!
I take off my hat to your bravery in persisting with this rubbish system, I really do ( Before = anta: After = )

Hi guys. Could anybody tell me where I can buy an sd card for my teletrac D4 50MD-01 sat nav? I bought my berlingo last month and have only just found out there's no sd card. I've tried looking in the usual places online. Any help would be much appreciated

It's just a standard Micro SD card mate, they sell them in Tesco. The Teletrac is a subscription only service, unless you got 3 years free with a new van. In that case you have to call the Teletrac people to get it activated. It's £120 a year for sat nav, tracker and speed cam warning. There is a PAYG option at £25 a year but is Nav only and each route costs 90p.

After trying to get mine activated and speaking to Teletrac, mine is on it's way to the recycling centre as we speak (I chucked it in the bin) cos it is pants and Google Maps is much better, and also free.

We had this system with the Enterprise when new in 2013. 3 years later the freebie bit expired. When we were told how much it would cost to continue we 'politely' declined, the unit was binned and a Garmin Satnav with lifetime free updates was purchased.

Not sure what I've got to be honest. When I bought the van from one of the big car/van chains the sat nav came with it minus a cradle and yesterday I found minus the micro sd card.
So what your saying this device is a waste of time and not really worth spending anymore money in it. Just stick to Google maps or waze as I did with my previous van

Yeah mate unless you want to pay £120 a year for a crap system I'd chuck it in a drawer and use android. I've read about it sending people up dead ends and trying to make them take a route that crossed a river where there was no bridge. Utter rubbish by all accounts. I got the price for activation of mine and after reading the forums on people who had it, I thought nah no chance

Thankyou so much for the advice. Much appreciated

No worries mate, save your cash for better mods.
