I was on a training course yesterday....

[gobbo]

Always on the scrounge!

[Zak33]

XTR.....I'd love to send you some stuff....but its the nightmare of trying to get a sponge in a letter box.

Hold on....I'll look...I have some superb Sonax stuff here.....

[Stoo]

#Blag Blag Blag Blag Blaaaaaaaag#

[Zak33]

right.....XTR....I need your address....

PM...little pressy for ya

By the way guys.......I did see some CACK stuff as well...some really dire stuff.

The VDO unit that I LIKED was the cheapo one....it was clear, concise and easy.

The next one up was DIRE...really really complex and non intuitive

[TiG]

What about off board navigation? then....
You've covered a tiny proportion of the market.... So many things i could say but probably shouldn't tho......
Lets just say my opinion on NavTech data is less than 100%... and funny enough my new job is just round the corner from their headquarters..

TiG

[Zak33]

oooh....tell me.

I only get one side of these things...NEED TO KNOW BOTH.

I was told they have a team of drivers, driving the roads, and mapping the junction shapes, the one way systems and the odd lanes you have to be in for certain places...ALL OVER the UK.

Then they compile the data ALONG WITH local information, and then compress it to a format for the company in quiestion.

VDO are using: C-IQ, a company and system to allow access to the differening options and downloads, plus to run the subscriptions.

I think they are separate to VDO and to Navteck tho

*Pats good old A to Z map book.

Mind you I could do with GPS... I have a TERRIBLE sense of direction

Saw that £1,200 Pioneer Head Unit with the fold-out screen... That thing is hot... Does it do GPS? It must do

[Stoo]

If it's the one they put in the sport ka then yes it does

[Tumble]

Lynni has a very good sat-nav system in her car... It's the Tumble mk1

[Shogun]

Doesn't it crash randomly needing a reboot?

[CocoPops]

Lynni has a very good sat-nav system in her car... It's the Tumble mk1

Yeah, I heard she was trading it in tho for a better, more efficient, smarter thinking mk2 model.

[Tumble]

eh?? ooh no.... I don't think so pal... not just yet

And Shogun.... as long as you keep on top of the cooling (large amounts of a warm infusion of a caffiene bearing bean in water do the trick) then it's largely ok

[XTR]

fank oooo zakky!!!

shy bairns get nowt hehehe.

I'm gonna have to go and get some new photos of my car... its sunny and its all been zymoled....

[XTR]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Zak33 again.

[Zak33]

no more rep points for me.......you 're not allowed....you can only give the same person more rep points AFTER you're spread your love elsewhere a fair bit
