Title: RE: [ukha_d] RE: GPS was response camera
-
I
was
offered £450 for it and told the missus that there were three people at
work
after it (which there were) ... however it's so damn cute that I really
didn't
want t part with it and - well - for £450 it's worth hanging onto it as a
spare. You'll find that I rarely sell kit on ... however I do frequently
give
kit away when I really do find I can't house it any more. I've just got rid
of a
stack of UWide SCSI hard discs!
As
with the GPS receiver I didn't *ACTUALLY* tell Jo it was Ian's ... I just
let
her *THINK* it is. What I told her is that I have it t play with it ...
and
that we were going t pick up a different one (the Sony Streetmate) from
Ian's
this morning t compare the two. Ian was round last night when she came
home and
she just assumed he'd dropped it off. She asked me today whether it was
borrowed
from Ian and it just happened that at that moment (here's the hand of God)
Edward managed to open a bottle of Coke in the back of Jo's new car and it
fizzed out everywhere ... attention diverted t mopping up soggy child (I
was
driving) I managed to avoid answering the question.
Actually I was wondering yesterday how easy it would be to split
apart
the components of the VAIO and mount the screen in the sunvisor or in the
dash
somewhere (however on the dash the screen would be prone t being washed
out by
sunlight) which would mean that I could then have a truly integrated
navigation
system built into the car itself. (Also I could use it as a controller for
an
MP3 jukebox too!)
Phil
I thought
you'd
sold the VAIO !!!?!!! ;) £450 if I remember right - hope I
never
need you as a witness !
Kevin
Will do
... I have it in my sweaty grasp at the moment and just need t install Win
98 on my VAIO t use it.
By the
way it's not Win 2k friendly as far as I can gather...

Phil,
Let
me know what you think of this I am tempted myself. One of the things
which wasn't yet implemented in the product when it first came out was
dynamic recalculations of a route from A t B. So if you went wrong or
deviated from the route the software would not (automatically) adjust its
route. This had a particular impact if you were using their internet based
traffic information. It was not accounted for once the route was initially
set up. If a holdup was later identified it still directed you straight
into it. Don't think they envisaged mobile internet access.
Kevin
I really *AM* going t borrow a Sony Streetmate system from Ian
today and
the idea is I'm just "looking" at them t see what they're
like...
*grin*
