I'm tempted by the new AA one with the speed camera locations but am a bit concerned about straying away from trusty Ordnance Survey publications. What do you guys think?

Cheers,
Rob.

If it was anyone but Rob then i might have given two thoughts to it being a serious question.


I'm deadly serious about purchasing one of the above publications and was seeking possible advice as to which was the better option; I would appreciate it if you kept quiet if you have nothing to contribute.

Thankyou to the other two gentlemen - I feel as you do that the price of fancy satellite based gadgetry is rather steep and am looking to purchase a map (which I believe have been successfully used to navigate for some time) as I will be doing a Lands End to John O Groats trip in a weeks time. I already have a compass.

Cheers,
Rob.

So why post in the satnav forum then?


Personally I think you need to take a long hard look at yourself, why do you feel the need to be a troublemaker? If you don't like my thread don't reply, simple as that - get a life eh?

As Pals4 said the relative costs and usefulness of a decent road atlas versus a GPS system is a good question and needs to be considered - luckily due to this thread a kind Pistonheader as offered to lend me his hardback edition of the AA road atlas for my trip to John O Groats. I shall write a post as to how I find the ease of use - especially the speed camera warnings that are included and possibly useful to us 'enthusiastic drivers'; look out for my next thead 'SatNav systems - are they worth it?'.

Cheers,
Rob.

You'll all be relieved to know we made it to John O Groats and back without getting lost once with use of the AA Roadmap for the Scottish leg and a trusy free 1998 Castrol Road Atlas which was found in the glovebox for my part.

SatNav? Pft.

Cheers,
Rob.

(I might look into that Philips one tho, cheers for the reply... )
