Ive got an old TOM TOM Go. When its not being used, it bounces around in the glove box. Had it about 4 years, the map's so old, even Stone Henge isn't on it. Still faultless lol

Lee's pikeyvan is a signal black hole. Unless you sellotape your phone to the windows you may as well be on mars

TomTom FTW. My sister's works satnav is a garmin and its rubbish. One of the guys at work has a garmin and it spent an entire journey back from Middle Wallop airfield doing firmware updates. My ex's mum had a garmin and it couldn't even get us back from my house to hers - down a straight, main road through Ashcott, it zig-zagged us down side roads. We crossed the main road about three times lol

I had GarminXT on my N95 and it didn't understand roundabouts lol

Whatever ones we have ourselves lol

Company doesn't supply satnav. My sister works for HMRC.

Unless you mean military, in which case they don't use stanav. Just follow signs to the nearest pub or off license lol

I've just massively failed: spent 3 1/2 hours of my day off today trying to get Xbox Live to work, only to find out just now that its scheduled maintenance!!
They could of emailed us that this would happen, bet that 24hrs still comes of my Live membership!! Typical funking Microsh*te...
