.. and we'll be able to get there under our own steam 'cos I've just bought a neat little TomTom Go. [

Well, if you don't want to follow BKE! [
]Good choice of kit Carl, I am very pleased with my Tom Tom set up. It provides much peace and harmony in our car when, in the past, the navigator (Belinda) received significant flack.
Re: Tom Tom
A word of caution: Be carefull programming in the address. It asks you for a town first but subsequently will throw up road names of about 50 miles radius - make sure you don't ask it to take you to a road of the same name in another town. Rick still takes the Micky out of me after we went to a GT3 bash in Tonbridge via Cantebury.

[
] I've been reading about version 4.40 of TomTom Go which includes poi (points of interest). You can upload postcodes and use these to navigate to. (There's also a database of speed cameras too).
You can indeed. My additional POI's include:-
Tesco stores with cafes - very good for a cheap big breakfast
Shell Garages - A must for us Optimax users though, it must be said, it isn't a very conclusive data base.
Motor Racing Circuits - very important.
The more you use that sat nav the more you will wonder how you managed without it - assuming you don't have BKE to follow of course.

Very impressed with the features it has. Just set up warnings for speed cameras and locations of shell stations, national trust & english heritage sites. I'll have to to drive to ... erm ... somewhere to test it out now ...

John, sorry to wander off topic (but you guys started it []). Can I have a demo of this toy next time we meet up? I've been thinking of a handheld navigator but have never seen one in action - I paticularly like the idea of cafe and Optimax locations - very useful for cheap grub and go faster juice [8D]

I'd be honoured Paul, but you must realise that you will want one afterwards and I can't be held responsible for the depletion of your disposable income. But then why should I care, I have to put up with Rick constantly showing me things that I didn't know I wanted until I'd seen them. [

I got the TomTom Go. It does indeed talk to you. Mine sits in the car and says things like 'You're a crap driver' and 'Give me more money now'. Oh no sorry, thats the wife ...
