SatNav

Well, this makes a change, a blog about something other than Money Maker Machine . I have finally given in to my desires and bought myself a SatNav. The main reason for buying it was to use when we go touring with the new caravan. We have planned 5 holidays this year in the van. A couple of them are sites we have been to before but I felt that the SatNav should help us get there (it is not unusual for us to 'take a wrong turning' when going somewhere) and also will help us find our way around in an area where we do not know where the car parks or supermarkets or garages etc. are.

I have bought a TomTom 520 with just the UK & Ireland maps. If I need the European ones I can always buy them later. At present I have no plans to take the van into Europe, although that may change as and when I retire.

It arrived from Amazon last night and I have still to understand the details of it but the route it picks to get me to work is totally wrong. The route suggested is through the worst congestion for Glasgow so the jury is still out on how well it works. Certainly the route to Inverness (our first real outing next month) seems to be one of the better alternatives. We shall see.

Byeeeeeee
