      If ever there was a time for SatNav...
      It may be a cliche, but a lot of women have no sense of direction and can't navigate. I read once that it is because women have no spacial awareness. Possibly true. Definitely true for a lot of women in my family (my mother, possibly, excepted). Today I was meeting my cousin for lunch. My cousin lives around the South Circular from Charlton in Dulwich. Not too far of a trip; especially as this

      Satnav or GPS?
      All the satnavs I've seen allow you to search by postcode or address. However, many organisations provide grid references. Do any satnav devices allow you to search for these? Gren Jones I don't know of any, but satnavs seem to be aimed at drivers who don't want to read maps. By contrast, handheld GPS systems are more attractive to people who do use maps, often of the paper

      Medion GoPal P4425 SatNav has Fingerprint Recognition
      Medion GoPal P4425 SatNav has Fingerprint Recognition: "Given that SatNav systems are one of the hottest items to steal these days, Medion's latest GoPal might go some way to redress the balance. Its P4425 model boasts fingerprint recognition for extra security, meaning that not only will thieves be unable to use it, but might find it that little bit harder to find out where you live &mdash unless, of course, your car is parked in your driveway when they break into your motor and steal it.Just 17 mm thick, the P4425 has voice recognition for certain commands, meaning no more one-handed steering while you thump the SatNav unit as it repeats 'Come off the motorway at the next exit' in its robot voice. There's RDS-TMC antenna for live traffic updates, 1.5GM memory, a 4.2-inch color widescreen and an FM transmitter for so you can get 'Come off the motorway at the next exit' voice guidance piped through your speakers. There's even a pre-loaded database that tells you where all the sp

Or, as he put it, “The old and the new are interwoven, and the art of our day is to figure out how these two pieces fit together.” Which sounds pretty good - very Web 2.0, and pretty much what you would expect from a publisher which is "a chronicler and catalyst of leading-edge development, homing in on the technology trends that really matter and spurring their adoption" and has an "unshakeable belief in the power of information to spur innovation."Slightly odd, then, that Dale Dougherty was: dismissive of an online or digital interface, saying that “the Internet today is largely a col

      Satnav Challenges The Knowledge
      Black cab drivers, with their famed Knowledge of London's streets, have traditionally had the edge over their minicab rivals.But the increasing use of sat-nav systems has led minicab drivers to claim they are almost as efficient.The Knowledge, which normally takes three or four years' study to attain, involves remembering every street within six miles of Charing Cross.While few minicab drivers would challenge the cabbies' pre-eminence in central London, they say sat-nav has put them on a level playing field outside Knowledge territory in the suburbs.
