We probably wouldn't have made it your open day on time without ours Saddad. First outing that day for ours which is a Garmin.

I feel VERY guilty for not coming to your open day this year, not the satnav's fault just work commitments!

Have I ever mentioned that the Littleover Lane allotments in Derby are FANTASTIC!! The open day is WELL worth a visit!! http://www.littleoverlaneallotments.org.uk/events.htm
View my blog on returning a totally
 overgrown plot in Gloucester
 into a productive allotment ... http://fork-in-hell.blogspot.com/

One of the cleverest things to appear recently is TomTom's IQ feature. It takes the fm traffic updates every 15 minutes & offers to reroute where there's trouble ahead. Also, it actually knows how fast you can drive on every road at every time (they buy the data from mobile phone providers). Without it, you just spend all day sitting in the same traffic jams caused by everyone using the same route... Way ahead of the competition for route planning, according to my mate who just bought one!

I have a DUM DUM, and if like me you cant use them then instead of getting lost you get sat naved.

Got them back now to put some tread on them
