...And (sorry for the thread resurrection) Googling brought me to this one on the forum first...which seems to contain more than its fair share of (yawn) "Y u no search?!"

Asking a question on a forum is a form of searching because some people are excellent knowledge bases, even if that's just a tip for where on the forum to read.

My Google search pulls 241,000 results - does anybody seriously expect that I should read each one prior to asking a damn question on a forum I infrequently visit?

Don't worry, Betrand - I'll not be asking you for advice on what is the best sat nav for Morocco.

I was going to say 'Welcome to the Hubb' but I note your acerbic post and I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

I respect your point of view, Mawsley, it should be said that there is a wealth of information and 'how to' on this site. This has been provided by well meaning people who already have knowledge or pertinent information to offer to others out of the kindness of their heart.

When I and others suggest people search, it is done to avoid repetition and clutter too- not to mention your imposing on other people, often the same, to spoon feed you an answer you need- even more so when you state "prior to asking a damn question on a forum I infrequently visit?"

I've never understood why it is some individuals, without a hello or a how are you, just roll in, demand answers to a problem they have through a lack of knowledge then get the hump when it is suggested that the information is already available for anyone who simply works just a bit to search the Hubb.

And as for your last 'volley' - from your post, it is clear that you have not taken the time either to read the many informative posts on here comparing the various merits of different sat. navs as well as smart phones as possible alternatives.

The 'you catch more 'flies', Mawsley, with honey' adage still holds true.
Posts such as yours, imho and alas, are the kind which do not encourage more experienced members of Horizons to give of their time, knowledge and valuable information. - Au contraire -
