    Navman works 200% better with the roof/magnetic aerial too.
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    Not a great idea if you value an unrestricted field of view. I know the police do, and back it up with fines.
    are you talking about the savnat actually in the middle of the windscreen, or in the midline, near the bottom?

    I think they mean the bottom of the screen in the middle!
    Not sure what car you have but if its got an 'athermic windscreen' it will adversely affect the signal.

    Having tried or been in most cars fitted with either OEM satnav or after market stuff I have to say that regardless of operational effectiveness all windscreen mounted units are either blanked by daylight, or glaring at night, but inparticular are near useless on a nice summers drive?:confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Low dash mount anytime, as wherever it is you have to take your eyes off the road to view, IMHO.
