(See HERE for our other GPS download index page) OK – we admit it – we don’t eat at McDonalds, but pretty much throughout Europe they have free WiFi. With the long range wifi aeriels you can just sit in the carpark too and not even have to go into…
Index for this trip HERE As the weather was again clear and warm, we decided to head to the cost again for a few days, so we went to the sandy beaches of Cap d’Agde to chill out and get some rays. There was some more excitement than normal on…
Wow! After waiting over 3 years for MS to update 2007 to 2010 version, they have released the 2011 version already. OK we know the maps aren’t as up to date as your satnav, but for laptop based planning purposes the laptop software is great. Judging by how many download…
