SatNav

[Chip Monk]

Have you ever used it.

I use one of those TomTom 300 kits and it's feckin awesome. You would not believe just how usefull it is.

Navigated to a hotel near to Old Trafford without a feckin' hitch. Anyone who knows the motorway system, where you go from west to east across north Engerland, knows it can be a real pain in the arse if you don't know the roads, or have a map reader beside you. Not just someone with a map, btw. Someone who actually knows how to read one and understand it.

SatNav ftw. However not if you only ever go to places that you already know. Then you're a cunt.

oh and to actually answer the question. i've never used sat nav, but i've never been lost :snooty:

If your journeys are limited to your house, signing on and collecting pornography from the local newsagent, you don't really need it.

[GepperRankins]

never pay for porn

We have them in the works vans and the drivers never get lost any more. Not that i'll be using them for a while :dry:

Sorry but :glag:

The one I use also does camera alerts, it shows you where the camera is and what the speed limit is. It even warns you where the cops sometimes put mobile units.

Just helped my bro-in-law set up a TomTom 500 for his wifey.

She's not got the proper aptitude for such things normally, and it took us five minutes to get her schooled.

I want one. :)

They really are fantastic, mate. I genuinely love it to bits.

I tend to just use the postcode (zipcode?) rather than the address and it works a fecking treat. You can also tell it if you want to avoid motorways (freeways) or if you want to go via certain other places.

A brilliant invention.

:lol:

Did they nick his "Krooklock" as well, because he forgot to put it on.

[enoughfakefiles]

It was in the glovebox.That's all they took. I wonder what they thought it was :unsure:

[tesco]

That would be useful when I become an electrician and start having to drive to places for housecalls.

Dunno what it's calle din canada (GPS?). How much are they? :P

[NothingFace]

To put it mildly, they're nifty gadgets.

I have Tomtom 500 on my Pocket PC. Not only does give you the quickest route (basically, it takes you up the motorways), it can also give you the shortest route (distance).

[Chewie]

I have TomTom 5 on my PDA as well. Abso-fucking-lutely brilliant thing.

I have noticed that the fastest route setting seems to give the shortest distance using only motorways and 'A' roads, whereas the shortest route setting takes you through a maze of side streets. :)
