What do you think of the Tomtom nav?

[phoq]

I have it on my pda which I use in the car and it's pretty accurate, even in "big" cities like Amsterdam (the centre of the city is a complete bitch with all the small streets). Makes finding the way easy for a orientation-handicapped person like myself.
I'd recommend it, but I don't know which navigation systems you have used up till now?

You can subscribe to the site so they'll keep you updated with the latest changes in flitspalen etc.

I've been using that for months with http://www.mapmonkey.net




Has audio warnings too

Are the camera cops that bad that you all have software for mapping locations and limits in your whips so you don't get ticketed?

[MKJ]

they've won anyways - you're still slowing down

We have over 7000 static cameras here (as in, not human operated). If you get caught speeiding you get between 1-3 points and a £60 fine (or something around that), obviously the more speed the higher the points, and if it's a stupid speed you'll get more for dangerous driving.

But generally- you get 6 points (in the first 2 years of having your license) and after that it's increased to 12. If you manage to get all 6, or 12, points then you have your license revolked and have to re-take everything, or you'll get banned for a few months.

So 4 speeding offences will get you banned. And it takes 5 years (or maybe that's 3) to clear your points back to 0.


I don't speed, but I still like to know where the cameras are, especially as they call them 'Safety Cameras' over here, to 'warn you of accident blackspots'

or automatic revenue generators

let's call a spade a spade

we have red light cams here.

we need them because in this city, the roadway lay-out is not optimised, as a result there are twice the lights.

the frustration this leads to causes many late-light accidents.

[Canidae]

[losCHUNK]

That needs to be there tho.
Its the only one i agree with, look at the bloke that died because
of someone speeding through re lights

[losCHUNK]

tr00 say, couldve put it in a better place though because hardly no one crosses at that point and you cant see it till your sat on it

[Don Carlos]

yup
Closer to the lights would have been good :E

[losCHUNK]

lol yer

i also noticed that the speed checker on the way to caerleon is showing 90 mph more n more

people must be trying to beat it lol

now if you could only spot the bastards that are plained clothed, you wouldn't get shot for no good reason.

I have tom tom 5.1 on my ipaq 3750 and i can't fault it. it's quicker than the sat nav in some cars i've had.
