and whats wrong with trying the first shop you come to! found many good cafes and bakeries that way

who said you were looking for a cafe, I mean if your looking for a certain shop Ie out of town and you want some parts for your car. Rather than driving around in circles or driving for 30km not even know if a shop is there that will sort you out. Unless maps books do this also now!
xacoon, Mar 21, 8:00pm
when did I mention map books! google map yes map book no.
johnf_456, Mar 21, 8:02pm
So why use google maps but not a gps, you can even get smart phones that will give you google in your hands anywhere!
xacoon, Mar 21, 8:03pm
why not! I can remember a predetermined route.
johnf_456, Mar 21, 8:04pm
Good for you if you can remember a dozen routes, wow such a winning brain there. Must have the ability to download data then eh.
xacoon, Mar 21, 8:07pm
jealous!
johnf_456, Mar 21, 8:08pm
Yup I can't remember multiple turns, routes and destinations and not forget one bit of it.
xacoon, Mar 21, 8:10pm
I feel for you. I really do. not having basic function and all.
johnf_456, Mar 21, 8:12pm
Your are just full of it, the sun shines!
xacoon, Mar 21, 8:14pm
not at this time of night at this time of year it doesnt. what are you smoking! must be pretty good.

Uuuummmm, someone might answer your question soon as sanity is restored (o:
johnf_456, Mar 21, 8:15pm
Well considering your super human and you know all routes apparently do share how you memorize everything you see.
xacoon, Mar 21, 8:17pm
hmmm I research the routes prior to travveling them. fairly simple! my memory is better than a goldfish by a good 10 or 12 hours at least!

So while you are trying to drive safely you are busy looking at your GPS,as far as I'm concerned they are more distracting than using a cellphone
johnf_456, Mar 21, 8:23pm
How so I do not have to touch it at all while driving I can look at it once in a while or listen to the voice instructions. Its not more dangerous than a phone that requires physically touching it while driving and actually diverts your attention rather then just galancing at it and go oh yup turn left in 2km/

So a gps is more dangerous then using my cell to text while driving I must tell a cop that!
johnf_456, Mar 21, 8:24pm
Each to there own, I wish auckland was simple.Especially when I am a busy guy and a lot of info goes in and out daily.
xacoon, Mar 21, 8:32pm
yep I'm not busy at all. I usually only work 60 or 70 hours a week. lazy bastard I am. no info at all.
xacoon, Mar 21, 8:33pm
and heres a guy that thought licencing was hard.
johnf_456, Mar 21, 8:37pm
I never said it was hard, just saying the problem with morons on the road is people who got there licence years ago have a problem who think they are immune from the road rules. A lot know the rules so a driving test will not change that they just simply choose not to follow them and do what they want.
xacoon, Mar 21, 8:41pm
and here is the one and only time I wish biker69 was here.
johnf_456, Mar 21, 8:42pm
He doesn't even have a license, so you must be a perfect driver eh. Ah thats right the sun shines now doesn't it.
xacoon, Mar 21, 8:44pm
no its still night time! what are you on! you need medicated fulla.

Dejvu, have I posted on this thread before! Anyways, why don't you buy a el-cheapo China made 5' screen off trade me with igo GPS programme for approx $100, works a treat! BTW, I originally used a Uniden GPS about 4-5 years ago for approx $400, already very dated, it don't show the Hillsborough motorway! Uniden want $230 for updated maps, thinking of using igo maps D/L off net for it, but it only has 3.5" screen. Here is a youtube of a 7" screen I had installed in my Subaru. http://www.youtube.com/watch!v=mxYvjBvxDZY

Of course they are great for tourists and many business applications. For the rest of us who use them it's more about laziness and wank value.
