Yup :) I agree about losing the awareness aspect when relying on GPS but for road navigation they can't be beaten when trying to find an address in an unfamiliar town etc.

I find peoples dependance on Dumb Dumb Go's kinda sad. Give me a map any time. I appreciate that some people couldn't read a paper map to save their lives, but everyone else who just relies on electronic crutches to get about and haven't learn how to use their own heads is missing out on something important. I doubt many of you who use a sat nav ever look at a map to to double check so you have no idea if its leading you the right way. Just blindly place your faith in a electric box.
Don't get me wrong, i don't mind technology and gadgets, i'm an IT geek. But i don't like dependance on items that stop people using their heads. I've seen too many stories where people get steered wrong, and followed people who get taken clear out of their way without any idea where they are or why they are there ("well, the sat nav said so" :roll: ).

Anyone know how to get memory map loaded on a Windows Mobile phone with satnav (Copilot)?

What kind? If it's a Windows Smartphone then you can't, if it's a PocketPC Phone Edition then just dock the phone and load MM via ActiveStink?

Don't know if it's a smartphone or not... it's a T-Mobile MDA Vario running MS Windows Mobile 5.0... what do you think...?

We, Wendy & I followed the directions on our Navman going to the HH bash last year.
It sent us down a single track tarmaced road...., after a couple of miles there was this great big red sign saying "Danger - Live Firing Area"......, we had to continue a further mile before trying to turn 36' of BB and caravan (in the dark).
W new what colour panic was :lol:
