Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, we are driving to the Alps in January. Normally we print off route and use maps. However this year as i have finally entered the 21st Century will be using a Navman Sat Nav as back up as well.
Obviously in the UK i just put in a post code or street and town, how do i put in say the following address which is for the Formula 1 hotel we are crashing in overnight.
Rue Paul Gidon
Lotissement SAS
73000 CHAMBERY LA MOTTE SERVOLEX
FRANCE
Thanks

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If you start with "Rue Paul Gidon" won't it search for you, giving you options?

Timbobaggins, print off a local streetmap from google maps and give you satnav a local name it does recognise. And definitely, whatever you do, use the satnav as backup - they can do daft routes in the Alps in the winter, make sure you know the way without it and know where it's taking you
And don't forget that once you cross the channel it will talk to you in French.
