Congratulations also to Technorati for the cool new design. I particulary like the last icon at the bottom of the page.

I grew tired of wasting many hours of my life getting lost in cities around the country and decided to buy a satellite navigator. Following the advice of a few enthusiastic friends I decided for a TomTom Go 910.

I have been using it for about a ten days on a few trips and I love it. Which is quite remarkable considering that from many points of view the thing sucks.

I mean: it looks well built, it has all kind of accessories, the software has a good UI, the maps are excellent, but there are still a lot of bugs. The bluetooth data connection with my cellphone usually doesn't work and I have to restart telephone and navigator a few times before the link kicks in (this might be challenging to do while driving).

When the connection finally works, there's no way to turn it off, which means that all my calls are routed trough the navigator. Even when the navigator is in my car and I'm not.

And then from time to time it crashes. For example when I unplug it from the USB cradle. The only way is hard resetting it. Which can only be done with a very thin thing to insert into a tiny hole. Now: guess how many paperclips do you have in your car?

But still: I love it! I love all the statistical data it gives me on my trip. I love finding out names of streets. I love not having to worry about how to get anywhere in Europe and Nothern America, Guam and Channel Islands included.
