This could become a theme with questions you ask me Red but I don't know.
Can you not leave the screen on? Could always get an in-car phone charger if battery power is an issue.
True, but the phone works hard, gets hot, I can't use it in my pocket via an earpiece while on my motorbike etc. It's just not an elegant solution. |

Navfree is free, you could always give it a go to see if it suits your needs.

OK. You've said the magic word. I'll give it a go. |

Waze is by far the best. Real time traffic updates too.
I just checked this out. The traffic info it provides is very impressive! Also, if you check for the nearest petrol stations it gives you a list with the price of a gallon. I can see why Google paid $1.3B to buy them. |

Used this today and sent me the long way round Always gotta use common senses of what seems reasonable with any sat nav. I've used 3 different ones over the years and they all do that sometimes. |

My Mrs's Tom Tom always seems to want to go around the M25 for some reason. We went somewhere south of Guildford (from Bracknell, it's a straight line down) on Saturday but it took us M3, M25 then A3 for some reason. Had I known the place I was going before that I'd have obv gone the quicker way but we were in a rush and I didn't get time to look. -manpoints |
