I'm currently driving through Spain and just completed my Santander - Burgos - Madrid - Marbella leg. I have set my speedo to KM's, but can't work out how to adjust the Garmin Sat Nav on my 2012 Virage to do the same. Nothing in the handbook to indicate either.

Has anyone managed to make the change?

Thanks.

Genius! Many thanks.

How are you finding your Virage?

Love it.
Did 500 miles on Friday and Saturday. Despite crap traffic, it was a pleasurable experience. Found that I love driving it around B roads. As much fun as my 911 was, now that I am more comfortable with it's abilities.
Eats tires! When I had the Vanquish as a courtesy car, I can honestly say that I *felt* the Virage was as quick as the Vanquish. Although the Vanquish is a thing of beauty in a different way - oh and the Vanquish noise is truly marvellous!
Took out Fuse 15 which helps the noise of the Virage...
The Garmin SatNav hasn't let me down on continental runs yet. It had some funny ideas about how to get to Devon and back from London, but I think that was down to the traffic.

Had it serviced recently - good service from the dealer. Some strange things happened to it (top of both windows cracked just before the service - fixed under warranty...and the 'dry' gasket was leaking oil - an engine out job to replace - done under warranty also, no hassles with either and a non dry gaskett replacement)

How are you finding yours?

As a long distance tourer its unbeatable. The closest I've owned to it before was a 5.4 litre 928 GTS, which was amazing on the autobahn I have a V12V prior to this and whilst the performance was great, it was quite harsh, even on long drives. Much prefer the Virage.
