Japanese Sat Nav

Post by gina » Fri Feb 13, 2009 4:18 pm

Hi
Any one know how or if they work? Do they need a chip? If so how can it be fitted or who fits them? Or are they a useless item here?

Is the last image one of the bongo dockside in Japan? We've never been able to get them to work here (yet). Someone may come up with something one day.

Surely they are useless anywhere you can't get maps for? - and if you can't understand Japanese instructions, as Clarkson found out on Top Gear

Dare to be different - learn Japanese. Then you can i.) translate the V6 workshop manual, ii.) read all our little labels for us, iii.) wear a kimono, iv.) make tea properly =D>
