iphone as satnav.
« on: 30 May 2020, 18:33:36 »
Wouldnt know where to start, but it could be useful tomorow morning if my sketch from google maps lets me down.
Any info, in very simple terms would be useful thanks.  :y
Otherwise I will use the Omega satnav as a backup but its quite a few years out of date. :)

The A140 is a straight line through Norwich to Cromer.

Even your sense of direction should be fine... Just make sure you join it with the sun behind you :D

Actually, I have recently changed from payg to a contract with data. So, thus far have nver used interweb on the phone when not at home or at work. Dont even know if or how thats supposed to work. If that isnt automatic via witchcraft, Im fooked before I start. ::) ;D
Think I might just use the Omega Nav and my fuzzy memory. What could go wrong ?  :-X
