Best gadget ever
Just changed my car and the build't in Sat Nav has a great feature. The campsites in the POI's can be phoned by just pressing the contact button. I use it to check that reseption will be open when we arrive.

Citroen wanted £129 for update, so we bought a garmin 660 from Aldi, used it this year on the continant and it was superb

Think the message is getting through to car manufacturer. Updates for my new Honda are free.

Last time I looked at updating my Touareg satnav it was silly money. It's only a year old and the some of the roads were out of date, the day I got it. Shame really because, otherwise, it's an excellent piece of kit and it does have that dial-up facility

Our Ford SatNav is a complete waste of space! Part of the ringroad in Perpignan has been there for as long as I can remember, but our Satnav persists in showing it as 'empty space' and urging us to do a u turn at every possible turn-off. We carry on, and
get to exactly where we went to go without any help from the SatNav!0 -
I ued to have a Mercedes, but upgraded to a Vauxhall. They both had the very nice lady telling me "wrong again". This is because Merc, Opel and VW all use HERE sat Guidance. It used to be called NAVTEQ. Nokia bought Navteq then the German car manufacturers bought it from Nokia. Look on the HERE website for what you want then look on ebay, ect for best price.

I manage very well without a sat nav and still don't know what POIs are, but I do buy a new paper map every five years or so. They do fall apart, don't they.

Would you like my old maps from the 80's. You do realy know what POI's are don't you. They are in all the travel books you lug around.

putting you right on the mark for some of the out of the way Aires as well.0 -

Tyron Bands? They're not a moderen invention, they came out years ago when rim design meant that they had the potential to do their bit ... today however rim design makes them redundant .... IMHO

To have one flat tyre is unfortunate. To have two....... (Oscar Wilde)
