<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-292" src="http://radio2020.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/traffic.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p>Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network has been a growing concern for a while now. Today they released the news that CCTTN is now up to 500,000 paid subscribers.</p>
<p>Via <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&#38;newsId=20080717005226&#38;newsLang=en" target="_blank">The Business Wire Press Release</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>SAN ANTONIO--(<a href="http://www.businesswire.com/">BUSINESS WIRE</a>)--Clear Channel Radio<span>’</span>s Total Traffic Network        (CCTTN) today announced that half a million people are now signed up for        the company<span>’</span>s real-time traffic service, where        they are receiving the data from a growing number of distribution        platforms. From the car to cell phones, CCTTN is continuing to form        crucial partnerships that are expanding the business in this rapidly        increasing sector.</p>
<p><span>“</span>It<span>’</span>s rewarding to        see that 500,000 subscribers and our automotive and navigation equipment        customers are recognizing the value of real-time, accurate traffic        service,<span>”</span> said Jeff Littlejohn, Executive Vice        President of Distribution Development for Clear Channel Radio. <span>“</span>As        the vibrant navigation and traffic market continues to expand, we are        proud to be selected as a leading provider of real-time traffic to both        established players and the new entrants. Consumers have a growing        choice of navigation products, and traffic information has become an        integral feature on these devices that have been flying off retailers<span>’</span> shelves.<span>”</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Practical and immediate are two words that come to mind, and Clear Channel is clearly leveraging these two qualities as they embrace a multitude of delivery mechanisms. Once more I find the word evolution creeping into my writing.</p>
<p>CCTTN was chosen by four out of five navigation suppliers. Partnerships are plentiful for them and include arrangements with well known companies such as BMW, MINI USA, Volvo, Garmin, TomTom,        NAVIGON, Mio Technology, Delphi, Kenwood, Clarion, Harmon Kardon, Panasonic, Siemens, and more.</p>

El Navigon 21]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>avier Penalva 29 de abril de 2008 1 comentario</p>
<p>21max_Front_TWL_RealityView_ES_baja.jpg</p>
<p>El Navigon 2110 max, aquel navegador que en el CES 2008 nos dejó tan buen sabor de boca, ha llegado por fin a España. Y nos alegramos, porque si en el mundo de los navegadores es complejo destacar en estos días, la vista real de Navigon es una de la bocanadas de aire fresco que nos gusta saborear de vez en cuando.</p>
<p>El Navigon 2110 max sale a la venta con un precio bastante ajustado. Concretamente son 260 euros para un navegador GPS con pantalla de 4.3 pulgadas pero que juega con dos elementos clave para atraer al consumidor: diseño y funcionalidades avanzadas más allá de mostrarnos una ruta e ir cantando las instrucciones. Y viene con los mapas de 39 países europeos.</p>
<p>Las mejoras en la navegación que hemos adelantado que nos proporciona este equipo Navigon 2110 max están relacionadas básicamente con las circunvalaciones y salidas complejas en las autovías y grandes vías de circulación. El asistente de carril va más allá del típico comentario de mantenerse a la izquierda o derecha, y nos indica de forma muy gráfica, qué carril es el que tenemos que tomar de forma inequívoca.</p>
<p>También se incluye en este Navigon 2110 max la Reality View Pro, que complementa el asistente de carril a la perfección con una representación de los cruces y salidas de forma más realista.</p>
<p>Pese a ser un modelo relativamente económico, lleva servicio de TMC o información del estado del tráfico, cada día más importante en un navegador.</p>
<p>Por último queremos comentar el servicio Navigon FreshMaps, que permite que nuestro navegador esté constantemente actualizado. El problema es que tiene un coste extra de 19.95 euros para conseguir tener el navegador actualizado durante dos años si registramos el producto en los 30 días siguientes a la compra. Este servicio garantiza una actualización cada tres meses, pero nos gustan más los servicios que lo hacen de forma más frecuente.</p>
<p>En el futuro, lo lógico sería recibir estas actualizaciones de forma completamente gratuita y con más frecuencia gracias a la conectividad 3G que adquirirán los navegadores GPS. O incluso que se basaran en un servicio de suscripción para recibir estas actualizaciones (que serían oficiales y basadas en los datos de otros conductores) y con mejora de los Puntos de Interés.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:18pt 0 6pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Presentato al CeBIT di Hannover lo scorso marzo, giunge ora sugli scaffali italiani a partire da 199 euro la serie 21 max di NAVIGON (NAVIGON 2100 max e 2110 max). Chic, intelligente e veloce, il nuovo NAVIGON rende la navigazione più moderna alla portata di tutti, il viaggio da A a B più semplice e sicuro.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:6pt 0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">L'evoluto <strong>Assistente di Corsia Pro</strong> indica ben prima dell'incrocio successivo qual è la corsia corretta da imboccare. La funzione <strong>Reality View</strong><strong> Pro</strong> consente di visualizzare sul display da 4,3'' in formato 16:9, oltre agli svincoli, anche le uscite autostradali in modo assolutamente realistico. <strong>Jörn Watzke, Vice Presidente Product Line Management di NAVIGON</strong> spiega: "<em>il nuovo display, chiaro e brillante, semplifica l'orientamento già al primo sguardo. In questo modo è possibile concentrarsi completamente sul traffico senza dover cambiare corsia poco prima dell'incrocio</em>". Inoltre, il passaggio automatico dalla modalità diurna a quella notturna permette al guidatore di non rimanere abbagliato quando guarda lo schermo nell‘oscurità. Il passaggio è controllato automaticamente grazie all‘ora precisa ricevuta tramite GPS, consentendo al guidatore di concentrarsi pienamente sulla strada.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:6pt 0;"><a href="http://www.navigon.com/site/it/it/" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10653" src="http://passionemobile.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/passionemobilefoto1007.jpg" alt="" width="443" height="285" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:6pt 0;"><!--more--></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:6pt 0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Il modulo TMC integrato nel cavo d’alimentazione, l'immissione ottimizzata della destinazione a caratteri grandi e l'inserimento guidato dei dati assicurano poi una semplice ed efficace pianificazione dell'itinerario. Per Jörn Watzke<strong> </strong><em>“questo prodotto è uno dei più veloci e precisi della sua categoria e sarà sicuramente uno dei più apprezzati dal mercato”.</em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:6pt 0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">E per garantire a tutti gli utilizzatori del NAVIGON serie 21 max le mappe più aggiornate, NAVIGON offre la possibilità di scaricarle ogni tre mesi dal portale NAVIGON Fresh. Registrandosi entro 30 giorni dall’acquisto a NAVIGON Fresh, il cliente avrà accesso per i primi due anni agli aggiornamenti trimestrali con soli 19,95 euro anziché 99 euro. Secondo<strong> </strong>Jörn Watzke: “<em>questo aggiunge ulteriore valore al nostro prodotto</em>”. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:6pt 0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Racchiuso in un involucro laccato elegante e di design, un processore da 400 MHz con 64 MB di ROM e 64 MB di RAM rende rapida la navigazione. La batteria assicura fino a tre ore di autonomia. L’utile diario di bordo digitale e il visualizzatore d’immagini completano uno dei navigatori più completi della categoria. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:6pt 0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">La serie 21 max è disponibile in due versioni: la variante per l'Europa offre copertura in <strong>39 paesi</strong> e costa <strong>249 euro (NAVIGON 2110 max)</strong>, mentre quella per l’<strong>Italia</strong> è in vendita a <strong>199</strong> <strong>euro (NAVIGON 2100 max)</strong>. </span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>General</p>
<p>I was excited to evaluate the Navigon 2100 Max GPS Navigator. When I received the unit I was impressed by the sleek and simple casing. I have always been apprehensive to put a GPS unit in my Acura MDX because I was afraid that adding a separate GPS would look strange with the nicely integrated console. However, the Navigon 2100 + Cam-action suction cup mount integrated itself well. The mount is easy to use, move and adjust; The Navigon unit can be easily seated and removed.</p>
<p>Let’s take a look at the specs and features of the Navigon 2100 Max:</p>
<p>    * Samsung 400MHz processor<br />
    * 4.3″ touchscreen display with 16:9 aspect ratio<br />
    * Fully integrated SiRF StarIII GPS chip<br />
    * SD Card<br />
    * 512 MB RAM/64 MB Flash ROM<br />
    * 3 hour 1200 mAh lithium ion battery<br />
    * Measures 4.8″ x 3.0″ x 0.75″<br />
    * Weights approx. 6.3 oz<br />
    * Up to 12 map updates when you accessorize with FreshMaps<br />
    * Real World Sign Text (see picture)<br />
    * Extra guidance with exclusive 3D Reality View<br />
    * Text-to-Speech Technology<br />
    * Intuitive touch-screen menus and stunning 2D and 3D maps<br />
    * Mini-USB power port</p>
<p>As I had mentioned before I was impressed with the sleek packaging offered by Navigon. It is not as small as the Pocket LOOX N100 but still compact enough to carry around in your pocket if you wanted. I’m a big fan of the smooth casing with no protruding buttons. The Mini-USB power input provides a nice standard interface whereby you can charge the unit with the provided charges or a standard USB cable connected to your computer or even possibly your mobile phone charger if it has the same connector.</p>
<p>The screen on the Navigon 2100 was the most impressive feature. The 2D &#38; 3D maps were crisp and clear. The screen is capable of high-color but most of the navigation screens use different shades of grey and don’t really utilize the screens full potential.</p>
<p>The Navigon 2100 has 2 display modes; 2D &#38; 3D Reality View. The 3D mode is my preferred mode of operation and with that you also get Real World Sign Text (see picture above). With this mode you get a cool picture of highway street signs, pretty close to how they would appear as you are driving on the highway. One piece of negative feedback no the view modes is that switching between 2D &#38; 3D takes two actions (taps on the screen) I would have preferred having a toggle button on the main display instead of requiring selecting the mode on a separate menu window.</p>
<p>I very much like the speed limit information posted on the top left corner (when the information is available) and an audio warning can be set to warn the driver if they are exceeding the speed limit by a tunable amount (5 ,10, or 15mph over).</p>
<p>In either 2D or 3D view, Points of Interests (POI) can be set to be displayed which is a nice feature. For example little McDonald’s or Burger King Icons show up if they are in the vicinity. I find that the onscreen icons (battery, mute, etc) in the upper right corner are too small and the zoom-in &#38; zoom-out features are not the most intuitive or user friendly.</p>
<p>Hardware</p>
<p>–Sound–</p>
<p>The Navigon 2100 offers Text-to-Speech Technology. So while driving the unit will tell you a change in direction is approaching and what street or exit to turn on. This is a great feature and requires less reliance on the Turn-by-Turn feature which is also available. The volume on the unit is good but I find that as the volume goes above 50% it is less clear and harder to understand. The unit has a mode that will increase the volume amplification as the car accelerates. This is a cool feature that some radios have built-in as well but also the feature that introduced me to the poor sound quality at the higher volume levels</p>
<p>–Interface–<br />
Interaction with the Navigon 2100 is entirely through the touch screen. This works fairly well but in certain menus where you have to type out a destination or address the keyboard has small letters. In my opinion I don’t have fat fingers but I definitely struggled to type out an address correctly the first time with the small keyboard. The keyboard is 1½ inches wide with each key being 3/8 of an inch wide. It would be a nice enhancement to be able to expand the keyboard the full width of the unit in addition to the vertical configuration offered. Much as the iPhone allows users to do.</p>
<p>When using the unit up close this size works but if the unit is mounted almost an arm length away a lot of mistakes can easily be made. Especially if (heaven forbid) you try to enter in a destination while driving.</p>
<p>The interface on the Navigon 2100 is simple and easy to navigate but there are some bugs and much more to be desired. I’ve encountered problems where I’ve entered in a restaurant name and the Navigon finds it but the Start Navigation button is unavailable. I’ve had to exit out of the menu and try again, performing the exact same steps and then finally being able to select my destination. Likewise if the unit doesn’t know your POI there isn’t much of an alternative to finding your destination. Having the ability to enter in cross streets would be useful. Also when searching for a location under All categories can severely slow down the unit and cause a 5-8 second delay per tap so it is necessary to specify if you’re looking for a gas station, or restaurant etc.</p>
<p>Saving a destination is not as intuitive as I would have hoped. When at a location you have to hit the magnifying glass on the bottom right corner, which will then allow you to click on green check mark that will let you save the current destination. I think putting the save feature would make sense in an area like the options menu rather than the zoom menu.</p>
<p>Conclusion<br />
In conclusion the Navigon 2100 is a good sized unit with a great display and good hardware features but in need of a software upgrade to work out some of the bugs and user-friendliness.</p>
<p>The first few days were frustrating and trying my patience but as I used the unit more I figured out what the Navigon 2100 wanted from me and we had a more working relationship.</p>

The 2100 and 5100 have a 3.5 inch screen while the 7100 is a widescreen device. Traffic is included free in the 5100 and 7100.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;">NAVIGON presenta al GSMA Mobile World Congress modelli di business innovativi capaci di rendere attraente per tutti la navigazione satellitare abbinata al telefono cellulare: dai produttori agli operatori di telefonia mobile fino ai consumatori</span></b></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;">&#160;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:6pt 0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">- Un display ben visibile, una capacità di calcolo migliorata e un ricevitore GPS integrato: sempre più telefoni cellulari presentano tutti i presupposti per offrire, oltre a una comunicazione senza confini, funzioni di navigazione satellitare e servizi di localizzazione mediante il riconoscimento automatico della posizione. Fino ad oggi, però, non esisteva ancora sul mercato un modello di business destinato a rivoluzionare il concetto di navigazione satellitare tramite telefono cellulare. "<i>Nella maggior parte dei casi, i produttori di software di navigazione si limitano a trasferire le funzioni di navigazione PND sul telefono cellulare. Questo approccio non mette in risalto le potenzialità della combinazione di navigazione e dispositivo connesso</i>", ha spiegato <b>Gerhard Mayr, Vice President OEM Sales EMEA di NAVIGON</b>. "<i>Noi puntiamo più in alto: vogliamo fondere la navigazione con Internet. I nostri servizi online vanno ben oltre la classica pianificazione dell'itinerario, consentendo di sviluppare nuovi modelli di business da cui possono trarre vantaggio, in misura diversa e secondo le proprie esigenze, i produttori di telefoni cellulari, i gestori di telefonia mobile e i clienti finali</i>."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:6pt 0;">&#160;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:6pt 0;">&#160;</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.navigon.com/site/it/it/press/archive/2008/236" target="_blank"><img src="http://passionemobile.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/passionemobilefoto388.jpg" alt="passionemobilefoto388.jpg" /></a></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:6pt 0;"><!--more--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12pt;text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;">Produttori di telefoni cellulari: la lotta per un nuovo segmento di mercato nel settore della navigazione</span></b><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">È proprio in questo contesto che si inquadra la nuova collaborazione tra Samsung e NAVIGON: il software di navigazione satellitare di NAVIGON, MobileNavigator, è infatti preinstallato sui telefoni cellulari SGH-i550 e SGH-i560 di Samsung. Mappe e software sono precaricati sul telefono cellulare, senza costi aggiuntivi per i servizi di navigazione, come richiesto da molte altre soluzioni presenti sul mercato. Dopo una prima fase di prova gratuita di due settimane, gli utenti potranno decidere se mantenere definitivamente il software di navigazione, pagando una quota di attivazione. "<i>Data la diminuzione dei prezzi dei chip GPS per i telefoni cellulari, in futuro la funzione di navigazione sarà la prassi</i>", ha pronosticato Gerhard Mayr. "<i>Noi partiamo dal presupposto che, già alla fine del 2008, il 10% dei telefoni cellulari sarà dotato di un chip GPS</i>." NAVIGON offre fin da ora la soluzione software ideale, installabile su qualsiasi telefono cellulare GPS senza spese aggiuntive per i produttori di telefonia mobile. Senza alcun sovrapprezzo, il cliente finale può disporre di una cartina digitale della città e della possibilità di usufruire di un valido dispositivo di navigazione. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12pt;text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;">Operatori di telefonia mobile: la “navigazione connessa” apre le porte ai servizi dati</span></b><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;">  <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Informazioni sul traffico aggiornate tramite Internet, previsioni del tempo sul luogo di destinazione o servizi di prenotazione alberghiera mediante telefono cellulare: in un colpo solo è possibile raggruppare tutti i servizi online interattivi e godere dell'enorme potenziale di profitto che essi generano attraverso pubblicità, sponsor e commissioni. Questa rappresenta già la fonte di guadagno principale per la maggior parte dei siti Web. "<i>Siamo in contatto con</i></span><i><span style="font-family:Arial;"> alcuni operatori di telefonia mobile che si sono già dichiarati disponibili a rinunciare completamente a tariffe dati aggiuntive in cambio di una percentuale sulle vendite</span></i><span style="font-family:Arial;">", ha dichiarato Gerhard Mayr. "<i>In questo modo, senza effettuare investimenti aggiuntivi, anche gli operatori di telefonia mobile possono trarre vantaggio da questo interessante mercato</i>." Un esempio: se durante il viaggio si è alla ricerca di hotel in zona, mediante il telefono cellulare è possibile prenotare subito il pernottamento. Mentre l'utente finale può approfittare delle allettanti condizioni offerte dalla collaborazione con il portale online HRS - HOTEL RESERVATION SERVICE, un sistema elettronico mondiale di prenotazioni alberghiere con una banca dati di oltre 225.000 hotel, i fornitori di servizi possono guadagnare sulle commissioni di mediazione. Durante la ricerca di ristoranti, negozi o aziende nei paraggi, un annuncio pubblicitario potrà apparire in caso di risultati disponibili. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12pt;text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;">Utenti finali: valore aggiunto senza costi supplementari</span></b><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:6pt 0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">"<i>La nostra idea di navigazione connessa prevede che la classica pianificazione dell'itinerario sia solo la base di partenza per l'offerta di nuovi servizi</i>", spiega Gerhard Mayr. "<i>Noi puntiamo a fornire informazioni aggiuntive rilevanti da mettere a disposizione degli utenti sempre e ovunque gratuitamente, per aiutarli a trovare soluzioni in tutto e per tutto in un luogo totalmente sconosciuto, in maniera divertente.</i>" Oltre a pianificare l'itinerario, sarà possibile localizzare il bar più vicino con valutazioni e commenti degli utenti, l'hotel più conveniente nei paraggi, il bancomat di un determinato gruppo bancario o la farmacia di guardia più vicina. Un netto vantaggio per tutti gli utenti. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:6pt 0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Già quest'anno NAVIGON intende focalizzare l'attenzione del settore sul tema della navigazione connessa. "<i>Siamo già ben oltre lo fase dei prototipi</i>", ha concluso Gerhard Mayr.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:18pt -26.1pt 0.0001pt 0;"><b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Venite a trovarci al GSMA di Barcellona (11-14 febbraio)</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:6pt 0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">C’è quello nero laccato con lo schermo da 4,3 pollici e con il bluetooth, c’è quello argentato il cui itinerario può essere visualizzato orizzontalmente o verticalmente, c’è quello con il TMC integrato dal colore bianco o nero. Ci sono la Reality view e l’assistente di corsia. Lo stile è inconfondibile, acquistarli da oggi ancor più conveniente.<span>    </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:6pt 0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"><b><a href="http://www.navigon.com/site/it/it/products/car_navigation" target="_blank">NAVIGON </a>ha abbassato i prezzi dell’intera famiglia di prodotti</b>, puntando in particolare sulle versioni che consentono di navigare in Europa. La linea 71, recentemente premiata al CES di Las Vegas quale <b>miglior prodotto elettronico per l’auto</b>, è scesa ben al di sotto dei 400 euro nella sua versione europea. La medesima versione della linea 51 largamente sotto i 300 euro. Anche la linea 21 con le mappe europee scende di ben 50 euro, mentre il 2100 con la mappa italiana passa da 199 euro a 179, confermandosi uno dei prodotti più convenienti sul mercato.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:6pt 0;">&#160;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:6pt 0;"><b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Hans Seyfried</span></b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">, <b>Country Manager di NAVIGON AG, </b>ha dichiarato “<i>i prodotti più richiesti sono quelli con le mappe europee. Le persone tendono giustamente a spendere un po’ di più pur di sentirsi libere di muoversi tranquillamente in tutto il continente. Per questo abbiamo deciso di focalizzarci su questi prodotti, soprattutto nelle fasce di prezzo media e alta”. <span> </span></i>Da qui la decisione di offrire via via i prodotti della linea 71 e 51 solo in versione europea…al prezzo di quella italiana. La linea 21 continuerà invece ad essere disponibile anche con la sola mappa italiana a partire da 179 euro. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;margin:6pt 0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Ecco quindi i nuovi prezzi: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:16pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">NAVIGON 7110 Europa: € 379</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I broke down and decided to buy a GPS for my car. I got a great deal on a NAVIGON 5100 during the black Friday sales. I ended up getting it for more than half off the original price so I couldn't help myself. There isn't much information out there on the NAVIGON products yet because they are new to the US but after I use it for a little while longer I may post a review.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Idag var jag för andra gången denna veckan i Kristianstad i jobbet.<br />
Det är en enkel resa på ungefär 1 timma och 15 minuter.</p>
<p>Denna väg har jag kört massor av gånger så jag hittar utan några problem.<br />
Men för skojs skull så har jag provat min GPS och programmerat den till att visa vägen.<br />
I riktning mot Kristianstad så visar den mig den väg som jag tycker är naturlig och snabbast att köra. Alltså väg nr 21 över Klippan, Perstorp, Tyringe och Hässleholm.<br />
Men det underliga är att i andra riktningen, alltså när jag ska till Helsingborg, så beröknar den resvägen til nästan två timmar. Och den visar samma väg tillbaka ända till man kommer förbi Klippan. Då är det drygt tre mil kvar. Där vill den att jag ska köra mot Ängleholm. Och när jag inte gör det, så protesterar den och ber mig vända om ett tag. Sedan försöker den med alla medel att leda mig ut på varenda småväg som jag passerar.<br />
Till och med när jag är en mil från målet och befinner mig på motorvägen som leder rakt mot målet så försöker den råda mig att lämna motorvägen.</p>
<p>Skumt, men det är väl lite tjusningen med det hela.</p>
<p>Jag börjar faktiskt gill amin reskamrat som pratar med mig och ber mig att ta andra vägar än vad jag egentligen tänkt...</p>
