Random question but my mind has gone blank...

Does PND stand for:
1) Personal Navigation Device
2) Portable Navigation Device

???

My vote is for Personal.
Ive never considered it ever being Portable.

+2

Also, as most PNDs don't work for long, without an external power source, they're not exactly portable. Smile

+3. I've always thought the 'P' stood for Personal.

+ 0. I always thought it meant Private (bearing in mind it sometimes means Pterodactyl and sometimes, Pneumonia or Ptarmigan).

As it seems that there is no definitive answer, what's the point?

I reckon it came up on a pub quiz MaFt went to and he guessed the opposite one to what they reckoned was correct.

- not a pub quiz sadly...

I'm working though all the forums with a view to consolidating and/or re-grouping some of them. It was just something that cropped up in my list and I couldn't think if it was personal or portable as I'd seen both used!!

My five cents worth is that I have never heard'portable', always 'personal'
Here and HERE, but now I have looked, I can find as many referring to Portable..... Rolling Eyes
