Do those traffic avoidance things actually work nowadays? I had one of the early things like that by Garmin and it never worked properly. I want something that automatically reroutes me as it knows there is a traffic jam ahead (on M-ways and major A roads like the bloody A34) and diverts me along a sensible route.
How does it get the signal to tell it there may be trouble ahead? I need to be ready to face the music and dance..
Yeah I agree about the bad stereo location but must admit that was the main reason for going for the facelift, that and the cup holders on the dash that I need arm extensions for.
At least on my VW T5 van it is a good location, so that can still have one! Anyway, spent a lot of tonight reading about them and also the app for Android and oh dear, it isn't well reviewed is it? Do you say they've updated and sorted the issues now? One thing it has done is made me research the dreaded update to Google Nav on the phone, which also wiped out most of the good features of before (WHY do they always do this??) and found out HOW to actually select alternate routes etc. Still can't seem to choose multi stops though, but it does seem to have Traffic now. Hmm... I shall check that out tomorrow as me and the missus are taking the Freelander to it's natural home (that south coast ****hole called Brighton) and there's BOUND to be accidents, roadworks etc.... I'll report back. I'll also report on how many Freelanders v/s Defenders I see in that there town.. :boink:
Looks good mate.
