Whered you live Mr ElRazur? if your anywhere around the northwest, ive got one of these i no-longer need... Im too lazy to box it up and post it, but, if you want to meet up somewhere you can have it for nowt... If ElRazur isnt able to meet, this offer is open to anyone up Norf.

BTW... im not getting rid because its poo, in fact far from it, just the headunit in my new car has a much more useful display, showing not only GPS speed but also Accel/braking and lateral G forces, which is soo much more fun.

HG-100 also includes an alert to remind drivers when they have exceeded the local speed limit.

I wonder where it gets that information from and how it handles the varying speed limits on such roads as the M25 and at roadworks?

In short, I suspect it doesn't. No maps, so it must be a fixed setting.

Okey Kokey, Any other northern monkeys want it for free? before i lose it down the back of the sofa.

As for the speed warning, it doesn't work very well at all really... you pre-set a speed, 70mph for example, and then when you exceed that speed the speedo flashes to show you've exceeded it... Kinda pointless really, you're hardly likely to forget the speed limit for the road you're on. Other than that its a great little gadget.

If nobody wants it, don't throw it away, put it in a box and I'll steal it from you when I next see you and put it in Mrs. Feek's car, it might slow her down!
