Sat Nav System Badly Needed
My only dealings with sat nav is answering the door to a polish hgv driver at 5 am who was look ing for a factory that luckily i know is 12 miles away let me say we cant even see another house or anything else for that matter from our place and luckily he hadnt come up our drive in 30 odd ton of artic Down to his waggon look at the nav and sure enough it right on us Back to the house kettle on ,map out, his english shall we say limited my polish zero but we got him there in the end ifound out later So i think i will stick with maps

Okay, it has problems talking to my PDA as it has known problems with VGA-screened pdas, but at that price and as often as I use it I'm not complaining.
Don't try to do what the guy who crashed recently tried to do & blame the sat-nav. He missed the turn & it said to do a u-turn, so he did; without looking to see if the road was clear. Tried to tell the TC that turned up at the site that it was the computer's fault.
Do note that the maps are actually years out of date, even on the most recent system (which is why you get them directing you the wrong way up a one-way street) and that all routes are worked out based on where cars can go, even if it offers cycling or walking options. These just ignore motorways and, in the latter case, the highway code.
I hear that Memory Map is the best because the maps are supplied by Ordinance Survey and include topographical data, too. You can even overlay aerial photos on them. They are horrifically expensive, though.
The PDA option is much better than the stand-alone because they can do much more. Play music, video, run your diary, do your accounts and take notes. Buy a keyboard and they're great for word-processing, too. If you decide you don't like the software you can scrap it and buy new stuff which can't be done with the stand-alones.
