Similar, Doggy.
Just been to North Wales to collect an engine from an old agent of my last firm who runs a recovery service and has a huge salvage yard.
I just put his postcode in and then sat outside his gates on-line to get some idea of where I was aiming for. Zoom out on the map and there the route was. No map needed in the car and no stopping to ask.
You can pinpoint a feature and use it....'1st left after Shell garage,' etc. Brilliant.
My first foray into keeping in touch on the road was a pager. You got a printed message on screen and had to find a phone box. Not so easy in some places and you risked losing the job to someone else ! My neighbour had a mobile the size of a briefcase and mine was like a housebrick, with very few places to pick up a signal.
Love my Doro mobile....it's just right for me !
