ash 001:
I am sorry evil :cry: I promise I will build your confidence for your assessment drives donā€™t you worry :slight_smile:

You donā€™t have to worry about me pal, Ignorance is blissā€¦

Iā€™m too thick to get stressed! :grimacing:

You are far from thick mate from what we have spoken about you seem like a highly intelligent person all joking aside.

Whoā€™s grooming who here? :open_mouth:

Lmao a intelligent person that hasnā€™t got his class one yet though :stuck_out_tongue:

ash 001:

And the commaā€™s are where Ash? :grimacing:

(Weā€™ve spoken about this, and you know how they work, so no excuses! :wink:) - SLAP!!!

Did my first work in a class 2 yesterday. Was so stressed out as my sat nav haddent arrived so it sent me where I shouldnā€™t have gone a few times :open_mouth: that and its been over a month since Iā€™d last sat in one.

Car drivers park in really stupid places. Nearly took an idiots wing mirror off getting into a construction site. They will have found them folded today as I folded them up before I exited (trying to make a pointā€¦ Probably didnā€™t get through :unamused: )

Got everything back in one piece thoughā€¦ On a 7.5 ton tomorrow :grimacing:

My dash cam works a dreamā€¦ Even had the other drivers at the place drooling over it lol

are those cheap satnavs getting updates? if yes - where from?

I canā€™t work out what youā€™re saying there TrogFather. You donā€™t have the SatNav, or you do mate?
If not, perhaps it sent the postman to the wrong address! :open_mouth:

As for car drivers; what other purpose do you think they have on the road other to get in your way! :grimacing:
Glad you had fun in Class C, and that youā€™re loving your Dashcam. But keep it clean! :wink:

Priest:

Mine has free updates, but not doe it yet, as donā€™t want to brick it before i properly test it.

For non PC geeks - ā€œBrick itā€ means kill it during a software update! (i.e. it becomes as useful as a brick!)

Wondering whether to sell my tom tom 5150 as all the trucks at my new job are all fitted with truck sat navs and have integrated phones and Europe atlases so no need to take half of my stuff now :slight_smile:

Nice one great to see your enjoying the experience, please excuse my lack of commas evil, I was tired :stuck_out_tongue: Yes the sat nav has free updates via a website, I am unsure of the url, but its on the sat nav :slight_smile:

Iā€™ll let you off this one time! :wink:

But in all seriousness, iā€™m not normally a grammar ā– ā– ā– ā– . :unamused: b
However, that sentence was particularly bad, and Ash was due a SLAP! :grimacing:

Lets face it I am due a slap every morning I wake up :stuck_out_tongue: Yes once I re-read it, it was particularly bad and difficult to understand.

I donā€™t know if I want to go for the tomtom or notā€¦I keep thinking the paper map/atlas surely must be better? please convince me why I need a sat-navā€¦is it traffic updates?

I have downloaded the Aponia app and will give that a try while I decide if to buy the tomtom or not

nope not traffic updates, they are ā– ā– ā– ā–  in this country. Look at the link I originally posted this sat nav is amazing would highly recommend, you donā€™t have time for map reading all the time. Get in to the spirit of things be lazy, use a sat nav :stuck_out_tongue:

You might have seen that Ash and I got ours the same day last week. Iā€™ve not tested mine really, but it looks OK.
Iā€™ll test it properly on Saturday, but for Ā£40, even if itā€™s just average, and not as polished as a TomTom, itā€™s a hell of a lot cheaper.

Ashā€™s should be a bit better, as he paid Ā£70 for his I think.
