If you want to get somewhere, don't ask HansHans, ask TomTom...
German mobile contracts usually run for two years, then get extended every two years if one doesn't cancel. Hubby's mobile contract extension was due. With the extension, you have the chance to get a new mobile for a lot less money than it would cost normally. But this time, Hubby didn't take a new phone, but a Tom Tom navigation system for the car for a third of the normal price.
What a nice little gadget! With touch screen, maps of Germany, Austria, Switzerland and a couple of the biggest European cities, very easy to use. We were in Heidelberg yesterday evening and played around with it a bit. Even if you don't have a route planned, it shows where you're at the moment, and the streets in the vicinity with names, which is very useful, you don't have to look for street signs anymore :o)
When we went home, we let it plan the route home, and it insisted on sending us via the Autobahn, but we didn't go there. It immediately reacted, and suggested a few possibilities where we could turn around to get back to the planned route, and when we didn't use them, it recalculated the entire route and found the one we usually take, and all automatically.
Love it!
And now for something completely different: pne posted a poll about how we got our names. I find the comments particularly interesting to read and recommend you to go there and have a look/fill out the poll.
