Why do you need these things? If this keeps up i'm fitting a towbar & getting a caravan (i'll be able to reverse it!!!) because satnavs are equally as sad.
   I'm not ranting, i'm begging...PLEASE STOPPIT.
      Stupid worthless gimmick. Total waste of money & sadder than an anorak.    
    I hope this does'nt count as a rant 'cos i promised to stop that but...........aaaaarrrrrghhh
   I know i'm being irrational but i can't help it, sorry.

Been a Tomtom user since around 2003, can't live without it now.  So thats I have it.

everyone has there opinion. but when you drive a 55 foot artic, they come in very handy

 

...yes, and one of them ended up stuck down a country lane recently (in Cornwall or Devon) and had to be craned out!
 

Bear in mind, its a driver aid, not mandatory instruction.  To be honest, the media blow it out of proportion, unless there really are that many stupid people in the world.

I have never ended somewhere I can't go, though I tend to only use 'quickest' option.

 :)I admit it's an irrational hatred & they work fine for most, its my problem. Cockneyboy, @ 55ft you must be pulling abnormal/wide loads. Usual trailer lengths are 40/45ft. I drive an artic pulling containers on a skelly everyday so i'm HGV positive too, but don't satnavs need an upgrade to allow for low bridges, weight limits etc?

........i'm fitting a towbar & getting a caravan (i'll be able to reverse it!!!) ......

I can reverse my caravan too, & I don't have a HGV licence.  

[amigov6]

Caravans are harder to reverse than an artic. The shorter the trailer the quicker you have correct the lock. I learned before my hgv when we took up banger racing, bought a Transit  & car trailer then realized none of us could reverse it!!!!
    We learned!!!

Caravans are harder to reverse than an artic.  ......

I know!   I must admit to having a laugh at a lot of caravan sites  hen owners haven't a clue how to go backwards. Although there's a mover on  my 'van it's still easier & faster to reverse it all down the path with the car. It'll be even easier if I could ever train SWMBO to stand somewhere so that she can see the mirrors of the car  :-?, I get the occasional glimpse of her or vaguely hear an instruction of somekind!!  :-?  :-?  :-?

every time you put disk in, it throughs it out, can do straight swap if you like, i never use it anyway, will keep the speaker, unless you have a cream kick panel, without a hole in it

 

knackered cd unit then.  Been using CDRs in it?

[cockneyboy100]

not used cdrs , never worked when got car,  

[cockneyboy100]

hi amigov6

meant total length is 55 foot, but moor like 50, you know us blokes like to exaggerate about size,..

have got he low bridge option, dont think you can get a weight limit warning package.

 

[amigov6]

Blokes exaggerate sizes? Surely not! I once told a girl "when god made women drivers he was only joking". Straight off the cuff she fired back "that's 'cos you blokes tell us 6 inches is a foot"!!!
   She was always a good laugh. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

[cockneyboy100]

dont tell me you married her

I wasn't asking for an illegal copy, sorry if i gave that impression. If somebody has a cd that they are now not using or have a dead unit i would like to see if mine works. so i don't wanna pay navteq prices for  cd that i possible won't need.
