All praise the wonder of TomTom

Last night I got my new 2gb SD card so I was updating my TomTom ONE satnav like a man possessed (sp).

 

Anyway I added a few celeb voices (Sean Connery, Ozzy Osbourne, Arnold Swarzenegger, Homer Simpson etc etc) when I found a map overay for GB of T-Mobile Wi-Fi hotspots around the UK.

 

Anyway it tells you the lotation of T-Mobile Wi-Fi places wherever you are.

It's great.

 

TomTom has got to be one of the best investments I ever made! :thumbsup:

The John Cleese voice is funny......"You have arrived at your destination, but I am not going to carry your bags. From now on you are on your own."

 

I have POI's installed for nearest banks, Morrisons, Tesco's, Asda, Argos stores, Fish and Chip shops, KFC, Little chef, PC World, and loads of Campsites.

 

Best thing I ever bought.

Which TomTom unit have you got?

Did the POI's come pre-installed or did you get them from somewhere else?

 

I downloaded the wifi hotspots from T-Mobile in the UK from the TomTom website for nowt. And I managed to get hold of a map overlay for LPG station POI's for free from another website too.

 

Since I drive an LPG converted vehicle it comes in really handy.

Yeah, I get that too. Frightened the life out of me the first time when it told me to turn right in 80 yards - I was doing 90mph in the outside lane at the time! Thats a new stretch of road that the map data providers haven't yet got around to updating yet :)
