Just noticed this thread. I would advise against Tomtom as I nearly got arrested driving into a one way system

"Turn right" so I start turning and instantly notice the no entry signs. Annoyingly the cop behind me didn't give me much time. Ok so he had just seen me on my phone at the lights too so he wasn't pleased

I haven't bought any games for my Wii aside from Zelda. Damn shame and I'm only keeping it for the Star Wars games. The 360 is going to break my credit card soon

Oops.

Of course, I'm sure no-one here needs telling that a Sat Nav should never replace reading the road and signs around you. If you blindly follow them you'll eventually come a cropper. Driving the wrong way down a one way system is a common one, but there's plenty worse. Residents of certain villages regularly have to rescue motorists who blindly follow their Sat Nav systems down impassable roads (which often end in a cliff). Given Lopez's navigation skills, I doubt that's a problem he'll have - and if he does, would the car he's driving* really be worth rescuing anyway?

Hehe true. I did also check the sign which said turn right, but mis-counted the road

I must say I disagree with TomTom a lot - but we often come to an amicable conclusion

Yeah tomtom is not to be followed but to merely guide you roughly. I often take early exits i think are alightly better for other reasons (but slower acording to lord tomtom) and just let it merrily moan for about half a mile then recalculate. On that note, there should be options for how quick it recalculates, and how often it tries to get you back on an original route or a new recalculated route. I think that would be far better than "mpar share"...

I'd get a 360 because i have wanted one since day one but have never had the spare cash to buy one.
I even worked out how to repair them in the hope i would end up with the bits to build one myself. Then Big balls himself extends the warrantys & scuppered my plans

360 all the way mate they are Ace. I've played my brothers & a friends & it really is Instant excellent gaming

Good to see you back, malc

Excellent - it turned up this morning and they've sent me an XL Europe

I wasn't expecting an XL so very happy with it.
