Well I'm on TomTom's side on this. Google already knows far too much about us and now wants to take charge of our vehicles, recording such things as our fuel-buying and driving habits and our maybe li ... |

Anyway, back to us normal mortals. Going by all that's said, the less you have to physically interact with the phone on the move the better.
That's why I hate the TomTom app's habit of popping up a ... |

Quite why journo's can't be bothered to report the *useful* facts from such cases is beyond me. Perhaps they are generally too stupid to grasp the finer points of the law?
Why let facts spoil a ... |

Now I use Waze which I have to say is awesome. You need a data connection to use it
Going by your wish list for it, seems lacking. Certainly needed data connection a no no for me - just been up ... |

Garmin satnavs do apparently learn your driving style and adjust the speeds that they use to calculate ETA etc. However in your case if you're switching between car and campervan that won't help, unl ... |

Hi,
I'd like to see

Ah, great idea - but not only your preferred routes, but also your driving habits.
Like in France, driving my campervan, I'll do avera ... |

The TomTom app for Android does almost what folk mention here (once you get your head round its quirks).
One thing missing I'd really like, though, is the ability to search its POI database for - s ... |

Interesting to see that you obviously only post those comments in support of your "opinion."

HI,
so at 36 mph you are bang on the allowance limit, 37 mph you are speeding.

I don't know whether there are rip-offs going on (likely as they happen in every sphere of life) but the course I went on was excellent and changed my driving habits.
Also, those licence points: it ... |
