John if you want to take some nice pics in the normal way then send them up to me, I'll scan them in for you at a suitable resolution for the web and post the whole lot back on a CD.
I can then give you a simple walkthrough of how to set them up in an album on Photobucket site for the world to peruse.
No rush... at your leisure..
regards
George

Cheers George, i will try to get round to that asap. Des is the system on your Sat-nav. Tom-Tom? this is the one i have been looking at as its voice guidance. Also how do you input the post codes? Is it with a stylus?. I also looked at the Tom-Tom Go system which is touch screen but dont know if this is by stylus or with your finger(preferable). john.n

checkout the link to navman i got mine from eurosimm £663+courier its got to be the 630 the 620 isnt 3/d and only covers n/ireland/uk 630 has to be activated online so anything other than cosher might not be o.k. and at that price it was very close to e,bay prices no its not tom,tom and the postcode key entered by moving icon along qwerty keypad and entering by key ta ta des..........

hi there
posted this before.
if (big if) you're travelling with your laptop, then this is a great sat nav. http://www.directions.ltd.uk/moreinfo.php?id=3140
now i know it's not as convenient as a 'proper' system but at only £115, it's a bargain! as i said, if you've got your laptop with you,.....well you might as well use it.

Stick a ford travelpilot in. Fits where the 7000 radio goes, doesn't cost anywhere near the figures shown above and it looks the part.
Just my opinion of course

The trouble is finding one at the right money Baz- too expensive to buy new. john.n

Quite true, but I got mine off Ebay. Brand new in a box from a nice man in Germany. I think I paid about £450. There have been a few sold lately on Ebay and the dearest one sold was about £400. There have been a few of the VNR9000s as well (the ones with the colour screens). The last VNR went for £380 or so plus the wiring is easier to sort on the VNR and is still pretty reasonable and looks the part ratherv than having some a PDA stuck to your windscreen
