Daughter aged 18 knows it all, knows fuck all in reality so she calls me and
says she is lost in the car and going towards a village she has never heard
of and how does she get home?

So i have a picture in my mind where she is and spend 10 minutes directing
her home, so my question is what Sat Nav unit should i get (portable) for
her, mind you i might want a loan of it sometimes when i nip out, and i
suspect her mother will also use it.

So, anyone got a contact for a good deal, can they have speed camera
locations put in and updated, i know naff all about them so at your mercy.

Thanks
Alan

AA Road Atlas, about Ł5.99 in a bucket bookshop.

Personally I have TomTom, but its wrong about 75% of the time on the last
fiddly bits and it winds me up.

Maps and the ability to read them, possibly coupled toi a GPS device thatll
pinpoint your exact current location would be a far better investment....

Turded. I have the I2 - identical apart from mines the pikey black and
white version. Currently Ł89.99 in Amazon
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000CI4TX4/kelkoocpc-electronics-gps-21/ref=nosim).

Great for the UK, and you can download speed camera databases, but dont
plan to upgrade to Europe, or even more up-to-date UK maps - that involves
buying new pre-programmed memory cards that cost as much, or more than the
unit.
