Re: USB GPS antennae
My suggestion: buy a map, fit a Silva dashboard compass, learn to read the land and navigate properly
If you're going too fast to read the map, get a co-driver who can do all of the above

Re: USB GPS antennae
Sorry about that, having re-read my post I see it came across just a bit on the strong side
It was meant for Al anyway, only having a laugh...

Re: USB GPS antennae
Andy I got have tried a few so I can keep in touch of work stuff when on the road.
So far I actually l like the Three "MiFi" the best as it is standalone and creates its won local wireless network for upto 5 devices. That way Mel can use her iPod online whilst on the move as well as anyone else using something in the back. Managed a skype video call down the M3 before as a passenger!
The had them for £60 with 1GB free..
The only trouble you got is you are in Scotland, once you stray away from larger places any data services are virtually non-existants so it kinda defeats the purpose... have you looked out the coverage maps like
http://www.three.co.uk/_popup/Coverage_checker" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and compared the different providers?
Or move to London, its where all the cool people live
