More expense

[Bushtrekker]

I've just realised that the satnav on my phone won't work over in France so it looks like I'll have to buy one which does. I don't want to pay a fortune out, as I don't use one often in this country, so it looks like a shopping trip tomorrow. I also need to put the rubber push on water connecter in as I have no idea what French connections are like.

I've got a gps dongle, but not Autoroute.

I bought the two as package, but the disk was in my case when my laptop was stolen.

There is a douwe egberts app to make coffee :lol-053:

If your boy is up at Cadwell this weekend I hope it stays dry for them all.

Navigational problems sorted...I hope.

I've just found a free 60 day trial version of Autoroute 2011 on the Microsoft site and also found my Microsoft GPS mouse. As long as the trial version accepts GPS connection I should be OK.
