Re: Sat Nav
Perhaps we should start a sat nav section!?!
I use my boat Garmin to feed a little IBM 10" laptop, for ease I use Autoroute 2006, and for tricky stuff Navigator 6 which covers all of Europe and a bit beyond.
I know there's a truckers road atlas of GB giving bridge info, but is there ANY sat nav software doing the same?? (Can confirm through friends use Tomtom is the best software to use).

Sat Nav Change!
Were currently using our tomtom 5 software on ourmobiles. We have the O2 Mini S XDA and it runs a treat. Have been using it over xmas and very impressed. Used to use a HP PDA and with it now being on our phones its great as we only have to carry one thing!

just what i tried to suggest, a couple of days ago.build up a database of lat/long coordinates of good bad or indifferent.
places i visit, then post for all. instead of vague directions. which can be difficult late at night, or bad weather, perhaps a colour coded system of markings to identify the good etc,

Location data base
Would a snap shot of the map be any use. Its quite an easy process if you run a GPS/laptop system. Not sure if it can be done from your phone or PDA tho? It would be nice if you could make your Lat/longs linkable to take you straight to the location at the click of your mouse, but I guess copy and paste isn't too bad. Will do some trials and post later....

I bought a packard bell about a year ago and it is probably the worst one of the lot. You can't even use postcode finder in it as it doesn't have that facility.

location data base
i use autoroute, edit/find. then input co ordinates,mark with pushpins and
save as axe file. then using a freeware prog POIconverter, can save as
tomtom poi file or also memory map overlay.garmin etc.

Garmin
Thinking of buying a Garmin Nuvi, either a 350,360 or more probably a 660.
Has anyone got one of these & can advise. Thanks

gps info
Hi Gary,re info for bridges,supermarkets ect. Go onto www.poihandlers.com click on downloads for your GPS (i have a tom tom 510) save to a file on your computer(my documents) they are zip files. Once done use your computer to open them.Connect your GPS,click on my computer,open the file,open the GPS. then right click on paste to transfer to from file to the gps.It took me a few times to get it right but once done all the info you want and more is available.Please ensure that your card is big enough before you start (i have a one gig card in mine)
Hope that this helps,Tom
P.S. once done you can program your tom tom to warn you when you pass by the poi's (points of interest) i.e bridges,shops,fuel ect
