Good point Tony X mine froze up today. As the instructions are not the best it takes a little while to know
what is what precisely and I switched the screen saver off which means the video screen is on all the time
so over heated and froze. (We have aircon blowing at us not the windscreen)

So I have ordered 10 x mini heat sinks which I will glue on to see if that gets rid of the heat a bit quicker. I shall see.
Of course I will now turn the screen saver back on as that should reduce output of heat from device a bit.

So it has gone from great little device to a bit on the flaky side.

I salvaged a small heatsink off the chipset of an old PC motherboard that I have super glued on so will see if that helps a bit. Although I suspect it will not be as much of a problem with the screen saver on as less heat will be generated internally.
