Oh Well It's Back To The Road Maps For Me...

[janzman]

...Got up this morning to find the passenger side window of my car smashed into a billion pieces and my sat-nav stolen and this off my own driveway. I've had a fun filled day of dealing with my insurance company then a car window replacement company then the Police. These three organisations turned out to be brilliant and all has been resolved now, except I'm out of pocket by £75 insurance excess and I don't have a satnav any more....I need (another) voddie

I thought it was always advised to remove the satnav when parking up.

Janz you have my sympathy, we had our car radio nicked a good few years ago when the car was a week old. All the fuss of ringing around did my head in. enjoy your voddie or two. Sat-navs are a bleddy nuisance anyway, ours is built-in on the Honda and we never use it.

Oh, bummer, JM

:0(

Are the insurance going to pay out for a new sat nav, janzman ?.

[janzman]

tonyav...I haven't got that far yet but I suspect my excess is more than the cost of a new sat nav

Most mobiles have maps now and some speak, to drive you mad

[janzman]

tamborine. ..my mobile is steam driven, I dial a number and it's answered I speak and the other party speaks it's wonderful, I think its called 'voice activated'....but it doesn't have maps.. :-(

You have my sympathy janzman, as something similar happened to me last year. Now I lock the satnav away in the boot, whenever I leave the car. It was probably one of those stupid, irresponsible drugs addicts, the ones that we are discussing in NEWS at the moment.

By the way, try Tesco for a new satnav, or even Halfords. You needn't spend very much to get a basic one, and a basic one will do the job you want it to do just as well as one costing 2 or 3 times as much. Have a look at the following link from Halfords...I have the £59 Garmin and its a smasher !
