Maybe you could tell us why you are thinking about taking it back to help us decide if we want one?

Couple of questions:

1. Why are you selling it?
2. Is it the unit and sat nav software?
3. Do you still have the recipt so I can take it back if I need to?
4. Do you take paypal ( I would pay the fees)
5. Let me know how much you want including post.
6. Is it still in mint condition?

Sorry for all the questions

1.I'm taking it back becuase I bought it for my Dad, as I currently have TT6 running on my mobile phone (spv m600).
I thought the copilot on the giz too cumbersome to use, due to the lack of a touch screen, having one on the spv m600 I simply could not go back to faffing with a joystick and select button to enter data.
And I sure my dad would hate this as its just too fiddly.
The giz will run tt6 but you have to add Homebrew sowtwares to get it to run and then again its far too much trouble.

In my view any sat nav without touch screen is a dead loss.

2.Its the giz unit and sat nav sd card.

3. Yes but its on a credit card.

4.Yes.

5. What I just paid £69.99 +p&p

6. Yes.
So if anyone still wants it its up to them but otherwise I'll be taking it back Lunchtime today............Its all mint condition BTW.

UK: Map skills lost on younger generation
http://www.aviva.com/index.asp?PageID=55&NewsID=2836

The trusty road map could become a thing of the past as new research* reveals half (50%) of young drivers don’t know how to read a map.

The majority of motorists (84%) claim to have good map reading abilities, yet findings from the RAC Direct Insurance research* reveal this to be far from the truth. Put to the test, many failed to correctly answer a number of simple map reading questions. Younger drivers aged 18- 34 years old performed particularly badly:
• Almost two thirds (65%) of younger drivers (18-34) did not know that an “A” road is red on a standard road map
• Almost a third (29%) of drivers under 35 mistook the M40 for the River Avon
• More than one in seven (16%) motorists under 35 did not know which direction they’d be travelling in, driving from Birmingham to Nottingham
• Over a third (36%) of 18-34 year olds did not recognise the symbol for a level crossing on a map.
The results suggest a growing dependence on digital technology is to blame for drivers’ poor map reading skills. Traditional road maps are becoming increasingly redundant, with more than one in 10 (14%) drivers admitting to never using one. This figure rises to one in five (20%) drivers aged under 35, whilst more than a quarter (26%) of this same age group don’t even carry a road map in their vehicle.

Adam Cracknell of RAC Direct Insurance said: “Planning a journey thoroughly should be a priority for all motorists, both young and old. Technology makes our lives easier and more convenient in so many ways, but it shouldn’t make us complacent. Route planners and satellite navigation systems can be a real benefit and using sat nav can even reduce insurance premiums. However, map reading is a really indispensable skill and investing in a good map is never a bad idea.”

Shame on the people who thought the M40 was a river! That's appalling.
