[MLB-WIRELESS] OT: anyone used GPS nav software (Navigator - Turn By Turn)?

[Tom Parker]

Nath,

I've used the systems that Hertz has in the states a lot (NeverLost).  I 
think it is a rebadged Magellan system (not PC based).  They are quite 
cool to drive with, but can be a pain in the arse in bad weather if you 
have no backup.  They also suffer from lack of statistical knowledge 
about what roads are busy at certain times of the day - I've found the 
time estimates to be accurate at night but very unreliable at busy times.

I personally don't think you need these things in Australia, our road 
systems are just too simple, but it would be fun ;-)

BTW those prices are really nice ;-) pity there is no pocketpc support 
included like http://www.maptrax.com.au/fugawi.php.

Cheers,
Tom
