Congratulations to all and very well done. Have enjoyed visiting over the last 7 years and downloading the camera updates, even though I’m still using my original Tom Tom One. Keep up the good work.

Gosh, doesn't time fly! It really doesn't seem like 10 years.

Thanks to all of the team for everything over that time - long may it continue.

In also started with a Navman/iPAQ system. I think I paid about £1200 for the lot. Although the display was good it had an annoying habit of freezing (usually on a roundabout in the rain) and the only remedy was to reboot the whole system which took several minutes. Not ideal when you are going round and round the roundabout waiting for the instruction! I had a lot of support form John Whitehead at Navman who was very helpful but denied all knowledge of the "locking up problem" which was never solved. I think it was due to some incompatibility between the jacket and the iPAQ (a hopeless PDA I thought so it was assigned to satnav only and I continued to use my Trusty Psion until last year when I replaced it with an iPOD Touch as I could not back up the Psion with W7 (without spending nearly £200 on a software upgrade to Professional). "Happily" one day in 2003 while working someone broke into my car and stole it and I replaced it with a Garmin (about £850 I think) which served me well until on a trip to France in 2009 I found that hardly any of the roads around Cahors were on the Garmin map. As we were looking for a house and needed to visit a lot of small villages this was a major problem so I bought a TomTom GO 740 as I was told they had the best maps for the area. I am still using this.

Apart form an odd foray up a dead end to a riverbank (with Garmin) GPS has always "got me there" although, unlike using a map, you often (?mostly) have no idea exactly where you are at any time. I would find it hard to be without it now.

with best wishes and thanks for a very informative site.
