Do you have any sort of acceptable use policy on work kit? I did wonder if we had one that time I gaffa taped mine to the SV's wing mirror....

Yes we do, and I'm sure the holder falling off it's mount at 30mph and bouncing down the road towards Specialone's front wheel is not permitted

That was karma, for making me go through that tight opening on to the road at the end of the pub carpark

It was one thing i was waiting for for so long, downloaded the entire UK at 1:15000 for the pda ages ago, but it having them on my phone is so much more convenient

It was funny when my front wheel was down the steps, rear wheel still on the car park level and my feet were dangling in mid air
There was a car coming as well so had to stop and kinda balance

If your phone runs out of signal/internet the sat nav won't work will it?

Depends on the sat nav software and whether it reads its maps from the internet or from a memory card.

But wouldn't it need some form of connection to know where you are?
