Think everyone ownes a sat nav already dont they lol

Mines a garmin 200 or somthing and i went to london last night using it to go and look at a car ... the problem with it is, is its to slow to respond so you drive by the turnings you want to go down ... specially true in london lol where you have to be on the ball even when you know where your going !

My Tom Tom seems OK most of the time and it gets me to my fishing lake in France no trouble, but, it is slow on telling you to turn and takes an age to find a satellite when you turn it on. My friend has a Garmin and it is much easier to follow the instructions, it also tells you the name of the road you are looking for, and it was a lot cheaper. I am thinking of buying one but without the European mapping, (I will use the Tom Tom for abroad)

I love the garmin myself, unlike the tomtom you can put in as many places you like and it sorts them into order....but i am a courier so maybe only useful to me eh :rofl:

I use garmin mobile xt on my phone, but i presume all do it, im nipping down halfords in a bit ill have a look and post.. ;)
You can keep adding viapoints on them all but cant work out how to view them, differant operating system, go have a play itll be there somewhere.
Or do what i did and stick it on your phone, i "didnt" get it off isohunt and then i "didnt" find the crack on the same site to make it recognise your internal bluetooth as the garmin external one, because i in no way endorse file sharing. :tmi: :lol:
