Best Sat Nav For the Old Folks.......... ie Simple!

[mustard]

The old folks will hopefully be retiring next year and intend to get about abit there after.... they may even venture into Europe

So if you get pushed out the way by a little old lady doing about 95mph (she drives the 525i like the 518i they used to have, so she goes everywhere about 20mph faster than she used to! )

So best reasonaby priced system for the computer iliterate 60 somethings

Best by far for people with limited technical know-how is Smartnav, press a button, get connected to a call centre handsfree, tell the operator where you're going, the route gets sent to the car and you're off. Options include speed camera locations and tracker. You can save locations such as work or home to the system and ask for them by name plus you can also do a point of interest search "can you find me the nearest shell station, I'm low on V-Power" etc. One button operation, pay as you go routes (around 89p per route IIRC) or monthly subscription.

That sounds like the software for a PDA, as for v5 the price sounds about right.
