AA chooses Garmin sat-nav systems

Tuesday 2 December 2008, 11:59

The AA is using Garmin sat-nav systems to improve the efficiency of its fleet of motorcycles, after testing in London showed breakdown waiting times were cut by up to 50%.
 

Your comments:
A new SatNav has just been released in Australia that has all major town speed limits built-in. It can be operated in "SpeedAlert" mode to alert drivers (in various stages) when the speed limit is exceeded. This will become a must-have feature of SatNavs in coming years. I do not need navigation maps for 99% of the time but I need speed limit information 100% of the time. More at http://tinyurl.com/5d578y
