> 4. Sony streetmate - £180 at
www.gpsw.co.uk (
thanks for
the link Steve) - still need laptop
> but more of a "sat-nav"
solution.
Please be
aware
that this software does not work under Win2k or WinME and that it is
effectively unsupported now. The maps are out of date & the online
updates have been discontinued. It was also for some reason unable to place
me
correctly when I was at John Hills house one evening (it took a "fix" as
though
I was two streets away!) whereas the eTrex and AutoRoute got it spot
on!
The
StreetMate is
the better solution *FACILITIES WISE* for the driver as it has "direction
of
travel up" which rotates the map as you turn so you're always travelling
"up"
the screen and it has the remote (which is superb).
Also the
turn
directions (which are spoken on the StreetMate) are often too late ...
sometimes
actually by the sliproad on a motorway
Ideally
MicroSnot
would support the StreetMate hardware and add the "direction of travel up"
facility to the software - then things would be cool!
