    Another reason not to leave them in the car when parked is that they can overheat which may cause damage which is not covered by warranty. I have seen a few cases where they would overheat even when the car is being driven with AC on due to the units location on the dashboard

    Hi,
    we have recently tried a couple of Navigators, once when going to Melbourne, and I haven't driven there for years, and we used to use maps with out too much drama, but this time I was by myself.
    Very useful in that situation.
    Don't need one on a day to day usage living in Hobart, but I would not go to the mainland again without one.
    cheers

    Used one in Tasmania on Christmas holidays. Too lazy to look at map to plot course from Cradle Mountain back to Devonport. Lady in the box took us us through some pretty strange places but we got to see parts of Tas we wouldn't have otherwise.

    GPS does not get the hump, abuses you, gets cranky or divorces you if you take wrong turn. It just gets on with the job of getting you from A to B. Is more alert too. Best $147 I ever spent at the local home ware store. .

    I think the whole 'HOME' thing is overrated anyway. I personally keep a heap of stuff related to my car in the car which they could get my address from.
    and where did you park it?

    crims don't just target cars with a gps on the dash.

    err, to add to the 'home thing'
    the 'home' feature is really good if you are somewhere and do not know the best way home, but just set your jigger to show home some miles from your home, you know the way from there, don't you.
    Safe Travels
