Me too! Very excited to try it out this weekend.

Thank you Peter and Stephan (and anyone else involved in this project).

Glad you are sorted. Yes, the post from NZ takes a while - my vDrive certainly took several weeks, irrc. If you have ordered a vMap as well, be very careful with the packaging which comes with tons of shredded paper to protect the vDrive unit. The vMap is in there somewhere. Don't do what I did and ...
