SORRY COULDNT RESIST

I have a little Satnav
It sits there in my car
A Satnav is a driver's friend
It tells you where you are

I have a little Satnav
I've had it all my life
It’s better than the normal ones
My Satnav is my wife

It gives me full instructions
Especially how to drive
"It's thirty miles an hour", it says
"You're doing thirty five"

It tells me when to stop and start
And when to use the brake
And tells me that it's never ever
Safe to overtake

It tells me when a light is red
And when it goes to green
It seems to know instinctively
Just when to intervene

It lists the vehicles just in front
And all those to the rear
And taking this into account
It specifies my gear.

I'm sure no other driver
Has so helpful a device
For when we leave and lock the car
It still gives its advice

It fills me up with counselling
Each journey's pretty fraught
So why don't I exchange it
And get a quieter sort?

Ah well, you see, it cleans the house,
Makes sure I'm properly fed,
It washes all my shirts and things
And - keeps me warm in bed!

Despite all these advantages
And my tendency to scoff,
I do wish that once in a while
I could turn the damned thing off.

Hi Tom Tom have issued a map available as a download for £56, it only works on certain models. It wouldnt work on my old device (One IQ routes) so I purchase a Start 60 from Currys for £140 it has a huge 6'' screen, I then removed the europe map from the Start 60 and downloaded the Europe camper map which I got for £46 as I got a £10 credit when I registered the new Start 60.

I tried a demo run from my home to Chatsworth in car mode it takes me over a narrow bridge near home, in caravan mode it rerouted around the bridge so I hope it will work. You can set the overall length, weight, height, width and weight per axle and maximum speed.

for £190 to me this was a more affordable option rather than a stand alone device for about £350 and I was ready for a new sat nav anyway.

any questions just ask

I have a Tomtom Satnav but would never trust it to guide me to a destination when towing!

Instead, I study a map first then use the Tomtom "Itinerary Planning" function to plot in the points I want to pass through.

This way, I dictate the route and the Satnav simply follows it, telling me where and when to turn off.

Never fails!

Always check on a map. Sat nav is not a replacement for a proper map.
