GPS live mapping...

[silverbullet]

...is just fantastic! I've always been a bit of a paper map luddite until I recently bought a used laptop with a full UK version of MemoryMap installed. Now we can finally answer questions like "what's that over there?" and "do you think we can avoid this roadblock by diving down this lane?" without the usual sat-nav lottery!

I can heartily reccommend this 65 channel GPS receiver unit to complete the ensemble (thanks syncro Doug!) It's got a nice strong magnet built in and sticks to the top of the dash by the windscreen nicely. Really fast satellite aquisition, quicker than my Tomtom anyday:

Arrived in 3 days from sunny Berlin and the seller even asked if I had a VAT number for the invoice!

Happy navigation, wherever you're going
