Well I have been looking around on the internet at options for a Sat Nav and have a slightly better understanding (I think) of what I want (See my last post Search for a Sat nav). There seems to be some good deals at argos, most of the units have money off at the moment. At one point I thought I had narrowed the choice down, until that is I started looking at customer reviews. That merely succeeded in throwing me into total confusion again.
One Sat Nav model that I was considering appears to have issues with the software and with boot up time, the time it takes to aquire a GPS signal. I must confess that I had not even considered things like that at all. I guess these are some of the points I need to be aware of.
I will study this Sat Nav business some more, try to learn more about what issues need to be taken into consideration, then report back.
Watch for my next post on the Sat Nav
Hi Sue. Don't know whether you have bought one yet. I bought one from Argos a year ago, a Binatone which cost about £60, the cheapest! It does the job. You have to get used to things, like when it says "keep left" on a motorway, it means exit. Double roundabouts confuse it as well. I shouldn't say 'it' because she sounds quite pleasant.
ReplyDeleteI suppose if you pay a bit more, some of these minor problems are sorted better.
My main problem is my wife. If she is in the car she argues with it. Ms Satnav may say "at the roundabout take the 3rd exit" and my wife says "no, that is wrong"!
