Bet you're dying to go somewhere now. Somewhere far off the beaten track, to see if it works.

My 5-years old gave me a drawing she made   :)

Guess I'll have to wait another 15 years or so before she gets her dad a SatNav, but for the time being I am enjoying every moment of it!

LOL... I remember when I first got my nav system fitted I used it to guide me to my folks house from the nearest town centre. Bearing in mind I've managed to walk from the town to their house while drunk enough that I can't remember a single step of the journey, I'd say the nav wasn't strictly necessary  ;D

It's absolute bliss though when you want to go somewhere you've never been. Drove down to Warrington with a bunch of mates one weekend for a party, the thing took us straight to the front door with no hassle at all. Certainly beats trying to read directions printed from Google Maps, or worse still read a real map lol. The best bit is, if for whatever reason one of the roads you want to take is unavailable, just ignore the instructions and it will realise you've missed a turn and calculate a new route within seconds. Let's see your Google Maps printout do that  ;)

Have fun!  8-)

Actually, it probably didn't - I may have given you the address of our site over the road - the secure place with the big white metal gates  :-[

Correct didnt know the house number......but what the 510 does do.....which my GO didnt.....if it knows the house number.....it points to which side of the road it is......useful when dark and house numbers are difficult to see  :y
