Recently I upgraded my phone (don’t worry – it was a free upgrade, see the cheaper mobile tariffs article) to the wonderful HTC 3100; a Windows CE model with a pull out keyboard, and importantly, its own GPS receiver.
Now, having had two Sat-navs stolen – the first by people breaking into my car, and the second by the MSF who found it so useful (and drives more than me) that it gradually moved there permanently, I decided I would try it on the phone.
In the end I opted to download the Tom Tom software onto it for about £80; cheap for Sat Nav. And I have to say it’s fantastic; having it with me all the time is a great enabler for the following reasons:
So, if you need a Sat-nav and have a free phone upgrade coming along, I have to suggest you get one with an inbuilt GPS receiver. It’s a very convenient and relatively cheap way to do it.
