Re: Tom Tom



:-) thanks !

Really, having arrived, it would be nice to be able to  switch the
engine off & quickly review aspects of the journey and / or plan /
replan the next stage, or .. etc ... not to mention the passenger being
able to check a few things while the driver is refuelling the car ...
it's also quite hopeless at allow a short spell of manual intervention,
as when we want to make a quick detour & want to use it as a map to
track ahead ... seems to me they rushed it to market & only half
thought
it through ... or thsy have only a limited view of what their customers
are capable of (in which case the TrafficMaster no-screen just-talk
approach is what they should have gone for) ... grrrh !
