Default Changing Locale on a Zumo

Probably you've seen this feature already but today I found a cool feature on my Zumo which allows me to quickly change the locale, unit, language, clock and units settings readily when I move from one country to another (i.e very useful for me)

If you choose the spaner/wrench button from the main menu then choose 'locale' and from this you select 'change all' what you get is a re-populated list of presets for lots of different regions, so if (for example) I move from continental Europe ot UK, by choosing UK Locale when I arrive, the unit automatically selects appropriate time, time format, units (i.e. miles) language and clock format for this region, then when I return to the continent, I can select for example France or Belgium and it goes back to the correct time, units and language format for this region.

I hadn't seen this before, a big improvement on other Garmin units!
