Comments on ‘Via Michelin X970T sat nav’

Another dum ass design 

Thumb Down

Why do businesses presume everyone has decent spec pc and internet. It's getting far to common and should be stopped

My mum has a average pc, but no 'tinterweb connection. So this would have to come to my house, install the crap software and then update on my connection.

SatNav should just work..

I would of given this a much lower rating.

X970T

Much better in France where it took me several thousand miles without a hitch.

Bishops Cleeve

Typed it into my non-sat nav system (X41 Thinkpad, T-Mob broadband, www.viamichelin.com), and it was 11th in the list of possible options. viamichelin.com AFAIK is the only UK street mapping with house numbers.

Mac OS X Tiger out, Leopard back in

I couldn't resist. I went back to Leopard. I've been running Apple's latest operating system for well over a month now, originally 10.5.1 and now 10.5.2, with no untoward effects...
