Satnavs
process for updating is a ripoff. Tried to update the satnav in an emergency vehicle used by a volunteer unit. Some of the smaller communities we go to even locals 30 km away have never heard of so updated maps matter. This being Oz, phone coverage is variable to nonexistent so built in it is. Following the vehicle users manual to web site and find demands for big money. So its downloads Google maps to phone and hope for best. IMHO, Google beats N**m*n units hands down. On long trip, a mere 600 km, Google pointed out a good but obscure road that took over 100km off. The dedicated N* unit insisted the road could not be used, regardless of settings. That turned into a minor amusement where I ran Google against the other unit to see which one had the highest error rate. Google generally best except in very minor backroads. Needless to day I still plan my longer trips using printed maps. One can see the trip in entirety and spot tolerable shortcuts off major highways. I will look at TomsTom for next unit though.
