I dont use a Sat Nav but for a euro trip - Can I borrow one

[gemini]

I refuse to use a Sat Nav but me and the good lady are heading through France in Sept and I would like to use one.
Anyone have a Euro friendly they's like to lend me or rent out to me?

Sainsburys had TomTom sat nav's on offer at less than £50 , If you have a symbian phone , eg nokia 6600 onwards , n70 n73 n95 etc you can get a bluetooth receiver for about £20 and ' free ' software (if you know where to look) to turn the phone into a sat nav. Once you've owned and used one you'll never want to be without one.

ETA , Just noticed this is in the yorkshire section, explains a lot about not buying one :-)

You can buy printed road maps for France as well

[simonspider]

Richard, Ive got a Tom Tom with a Euro card. Lifesaver abroad. More than welcome to borrow it

[burriana]

Just don't press "favourites" or "recently visited" or you'll end up in Sant Agata before you know it ...

which might not be too bad a thing of course

much better option in my hunble opinion! I went to France with a friend and the only time we listened to it, it took us the wrong way!

[Road Hog]

could be why you went the wrong way on the cobweb run ? instead of following the TVR's

I have an a iPaq with Tom Tom on it, it's a few years old but works perfectly - I have the maps of France on an SD card too. You're welcome to have the iPaq and keep it, if you want it. It has been in a box of "one day I'll use eBay" for ages now.

Thank you Chimmers Rods and Simon.

Ill be in touch before the Sept roadtrip.

Al - Santa Aga Might be a good excuse - sorry love I was just following the Sat nav!

You don't want to be done for perverting the course of the sat nav now do you Rich?

[Trickie Dickie]

I have a Tom Tom that you are welcome to borrow anytime Rich
and it also has Ozzy Osbournes voice (amongst others)
both swearing and non swearing versions

Unfortunately I don't have Euro maps but can get hold of them

Cheers

September? Why don't you do it the easy way and join us on MegaHoon?

[C2look]

Spare Tom Tom here too with Euro maps, albeit a few years old now.

Anyone know how I can update the maps for free?

[Concerned cat]

Richard,

Just train the other half how to read maps.

Sorted!!

Hello Si,

Must admit, since I cannot fit a Diablo through the doorway, a Vanquish does hold a certain appeal - I can imagine the modern day equivalent being pretty lovable!
