Re: Not limited to iPhones

I once went to a dealer to get a map update DVD for my 2005 vintage Volvo S40. This was about 2008, and the maps were already so out of date the Sat Nav wasn't capable of getting me from Derby to Tenby without the motorway. At all.

£600 they said.

I only want the discs, and then only for the UK if that's an option, I said, perhaps naively.

Six Hundred Quid they said. 500 + VAT.

Six Hundred *Fookin* quid for a disc? Said I.

A trip to Halfords and £250 later I had a better, faster Tom Tom and my pop-up in-dash sat nav never popped up again.
