Exclamation "NAVMAN EZY" SAT-NAV...???

I've just had to make a hasty purchase of the above product - the £49.99 one from Halfords.

Anyone got one too?

Haven't had chance to use it in the car yet... Just need to know if it does "Auto Reroute"? You know, when you take a wrong turn, or deliberately take a different road, does it recalculate the route to the destination on the fly? Or does it get all confused?

Just downloaded the User Manual PDF - it does have Auto Reroute.

But according to online reviews it's clunky - can take up to 20secs to kick in.

I'll have to suck it and see, etc...

Ha ha. By NEVER! using a sat nav you mean?

They're too much of a great gadget - that works! - to pass up. Takes all the stress out of busy urban areas that you haven't a clue about.

Used it for the first time in anger today - the rerouting seems to work fine and in quick time. Certainly no worse than my previous (now fvcked ) Snooper S270. So I'm happy.

Just pulling your chain mate.

Having said that, Lisa managed to get us to Prodrive, and then to a hotel in High Wycombe last year, using a road atlas.










Didn't have the in-car charger lead for the Tom Tom, I'd left it in the van.
