Thanks.
I'm not clear though whether I can, for instance, avoid an area such as the centre of Croydon? I don't use the traffic facility (too costly) so I avoid areas that I know will be congest ... |

Reading this topic reminded me that I had subitted three error reports in June 2004. So I checked out their status and guess what.... they're all "under treatment". Hardly seems worth the effort to ... |
