I'm fairly sure most of them run on Android type systems. I doubt Windows gets much of a 'look in' here.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Can't say I've actually bothered to look at what my Binatones run on. They work, so that's all I'm bothered with really.

Sounds good to me. I was just concerned in case of trouble should I decide to update the maps. The French are building roads like mad right now. Every time we go on a journey, the route seems to have changed.

Sat Nav apps on mobile phones are definitely not free, with one exception. As you drive, they download the map data across the mobile network. This means that they need a 3g connection as well as a GPS signal in order to work. The amount of data they use is not inconsiderable, so if you are charged for data on your phone tariff it gets expensive, and if you're roaming it's frightening. However, it does mean that they're always up to date. The only exception to this is the NavFree app, which downloads the whole mapset for your country when you install it. Works a treat but make sure you install it on a wifi connection as it's half a gig of data. The ad free app is £1.99, with an extra £1.99 for each additional country IIRC. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...M.ALL&hl=en_GB
None of this will interest you, Gordon! About eight years ago I bought a Tomtom Go 710. It's a doddle to use, it's never gone wrong and it works a treat. The only problem is that the maps are a bit out of date now and an update is about £40 or so, but it's not much of a problem. They seem to go for £30 - £50 on Ebay.

Hi Gordon,
Get yourself a new touch-screen head unit/music system for the car, as most decent ones these days have sat-nav built in - and good ones at that. Keeps it all neat and tidy, and upgrades your sounds, on the go, at the same time. Job done!

Whatever you do, don't get the Bonnie Tyler satnav. All it does is tell you to "turn around" and then every now and then it falls apart.

I do Cheap see and I don't listen to music in the car as we have discussed in the past.
