Dave got used to it , One thing I will say I have no idea where I have been other than the people I saw, I would need to look at a map to see where I was as I payed no attention to the roads I was on , And would have to use it again to get back there , I think we will all turn in to Idiots as all we do is press a button to get there, Also when was the last time you rememberd a phone no as I cant remember any now, Bloody phones and memeries .

ive used one of these for the last two weeks on demo , covered two major journeys without evne looking at the map done nye on 2000 miles in the van, its good , not brilliant but worth having for a mobile unit , i have a factory unit in my car and its not as good as that , but you get what you pay for
