Cat and Fiddle VII - Saturday 26th January 2008

[jaymd]

Ok, if you can find somewhere obvious to meet me, because I'll just drive past you pmsl!

Will pm you nearer the time and meet up on outskirts of maac.

[Phil-E]

Why you don't just get a sat nav loz i dont know... ne who...

Anyone reccomend a decent car wash near-by?.... maybe tell Sharkrider about it too??

[Makefish]

I keep looking at this and try and to convince myself that I dont want to come (but I do ) even though it's 500 miles and two tanks of fuel at fifty quid a pop!!

Shall I, shan't I :confused:

[Loz]

a) because im determined to get my phone sat nav to work

because there isn't any sat nav coverage over the c&f. The first time we tried to get there by sat nav it told us to refer to the map

Steve - come, you know you want to!

[SuomiSkoda.fi]

My english half of family live near buxton some 8kilometers away!

i sure would like to go!

but i dont move back to england untill febuary! :(

[ZootyRS]

Er Satnav (GPS) coverage is just there. It's global.

The only reason I can think of for the failure you experienced was that the maps were incomplete or not loaded correctly on the particular device you were using.

Hand over your pennies to Nokia and you'll be all set.

[robb06210]

Hows about posting the address, postcode or GPS Coordinates for us satnav users Rob?

[sharkrider]

you could just typr "buxton" into the satnav, then follow signs for the A537..... you cant miss the cat'n'fiddle pub

'er' I'm aware of that thanks, but it said it had no coverage and you had to refer to a map, which in fairness, isn't that useful!

I need to update my firmware (apparently) before i can get the sat nav to work well. I dont know how to

Er yes, but that was one unit probably having a bad day. Your earlier message suggests that no satnav will work there.

I'm sure it'll work just fine without a firmware upgrade, but it's probably worth doing as it is apparently a big improvement all round.

Not sure . . . might have to wait for a significant number before getting another one. Maintains the incentive to keep attending that way.:P:D
