Thief Uses GPS To Steal Cars

Master criminal Mitsuhisa Kobayashi thought he had a foolproof way to steal cars. He would get his ex-wives to rent cars in which he would install a GPS tracking device, as well as making a copy of the key. [...]

Last September I invested in a TomTom GO 720 GPS device and a Dension Gateway 500 for my new car. The TomTom GO 720 has been a great performer, despite occasionally it has tried to wipe me out by sending me down non-existent roads! The voice recognition is very impressive, and the extra [...]

How To Get Your Money Back For Nokia N95’s Poor GPS Service

I’ve posted a few complaints about the Nokia N95’s terrible GPS service. My main beef was that I paid to upgrade to a service for 3 years, which takes ages to find my location and is so slow at updating that it can’t be used when driving.

My Nokia N95 Still Isn’t Working - Hopefully I’ll Get The 8GB Model Instead

I sent my Nokia N95 back to T-Mobile last month to get the GPS and a problem with the call quality fixed. Unfortunately my N95 has come back with exactly the same problems, so I’ve got to send it back again.
