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

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

and compared the different providers?


Or move to London, its where all the cool people live :lol:
