Re: Sat Nav

I'm guessing it's a Tom Tom One (saw the ad for PC World yesterday)

I have one and it's good. You can use it almost straight out of the box (minor setup stuff).

It's not a massive bargain (I paid £200 for mine back in May) but I'd not hestitate to recommend the device

As a side note we have noticed "Nelly" switches into some interesting modes for finding routes from time to time

"Asian Taxi Driver" - loads of back streets that seem to go around in a circle when there's an obvious straight road
"Open Top Bus" - The scenic route
"Dirk Gently" - follow a car that seems to know where it's going
"Carmagedden" - roads that have endless possibilities for mowing down young children or the elderly

Re: Sat Nav

£199 is the normal price

Tom Tom’s are very good and easy to use
I went for the next model up
Check you do not need any of the functions of the more expensive models
Tom Tom One does not have Bluetooth

Just be careful. There's a new satNav virus been discovered, which targets Tomtoms via the actual satellite connection - if infected, about one trip in ten will land you in a field containing an flock of homicidal chickens and an angry bull.

If this happens, well - you'll probably find yourself wishing you'd paid more attention to what WB had to tell you...

Has anyone read it? Well there were 1 or 2 (yes....1 or 2) readers.

And ........it has been re-opened for public view - after being closed for a while after a bit of a.......

It may resurface with new blog postings later this year - in an even more mildly entertaining way.

See the full story of a young, beginner dancer at Ceroc Mad Jive Lad



This is way off thread.

(PS I have advised Senorita that she can buy the maps - or even get a new device from eBay - the prices are going right down for SatNav (and forecast to drop another 25% by year end.....). With a dial-up - you have your limitations..........).
