This little baby is the Navman N40i sat-nav system, which – thanks to festive generosity from my family and flogging my old sat-nav on eBay – I got just before Christmas. And it’s brilliant: it zooms in when you slow down, it has all of Europe in its maps, it’s dead easy to use and it knows where the speed cameras are. And unlike my late, unlamented Sony, it can pinpoint exact addresses either by house number or postcode.

Worth considering if you’re in the market for a sat-nav, although as far as I can see the Irish coverage is pretty patchy.
