Turkey
Leeward Islands
Both showed near Fairmilehead, #Edinburgh, albeit at different magnitudes.

27.10.2025 11:32 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Phil, please could you check in the manual and see whether the device works with e.g. Bluetooth phones, or whether the Bluetooth is just for programming? Thanks!

26.10.2025 13:35 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Does the Bluetooth work for audio in/out like using earbuds with a phone? Is the programming file available? Seems to be about £20+ on Amazon or Aliexpress.

23.10.2025 10:41 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Ive had Win-11 for over a year now and most programs run correctly. My main complaints are lack of a QuickLaunch toolbar, and the restriction of the toolbar to a single line (it’s four lines on my Win-10 PC). Quite a few programs to restore a Win-10 appearance. The adverts are a pain!
