Discovery 3 in Niger

[lesterniger]

Did anyone see my posts under discovery ?

I am struggling with electronic collapse and half suspect that it is heat related. Has anyone had a problem with the electronics of a discovery 3?

My other query was on the navigation system.
Does anyone know how to load up or down the data related to Africa? I wonder whether the system is eg Garmin compatible.....

Hi Lester,

I saw your post, but can't really help you as I only really know about Defenders, not Discovery.

I used a Disco 3 in Mozambique earlier this year, but ambient temperature seldom went above 30 degrees (June is mid-winter there).

I suspect that there is a fault with the Disco. Is there a reputable agent in Niamey?

I've done some a fair amount of travelling in West Africa (Gambia, Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria) and would only expect to find a half-decent service agent in Ghana. The other countries would have only bush-mechanics at best.
