| Re: Satnav
I use Tomtom - I have a palmtop (Dell Axim) and got the Navigator 5 version that works on that rather than one that stays in the car. Means I can put the GPS receiver in my pocket and use it when I'm walking as well as when I'm driving and it's also less likely to be nicked. They are a popular item on the thieves' list at present.
I've found it not quite infallible (it once thought I was in a blind alley a mile from where I actually was in Victoria Street in London - confused by all the high buildings around us we thought) but to be very useful for getting me to places in the car when I don't have someone with me to read the map. And even then good for complex routes on little roads when you don't have a really detailed map to hand. For walking I still tend to use a map because I'm accustomed to that, I suppose, but the satnav does work fine. |
