Any chance of you thinking about holding a Pocket GPS Summit, some time this year?
I was unable to attend last year’s one as it clashed with the agricultural Royal Show in July. So I’d be very interested in attending one this year, to look at other navigation software and hardware.

The good news is we will be planning one, we just need to look at the logistics, e.g. venues, costs and sponsors.
What we're thinking of doing is holding more of an indoor conference type show in the New Forest (Hampshire). We have the technology now to demo all software in-doors with previously saved routes which means we can demo anything from Street Navigation to Topographical on the Pocket PC or PC.
We would also like to make it more of a conference where if GPS manufacturers are interested we bring them in to give some keynote speeches and get them to demo to everyone and perhaps offer some free prizes.
Nothing's been set in concrete and I have only just started to discuss this with a few members of the team, but it's something we would like to organise for this year. |

Sounds good to me. Am certainly interested whether up north or down South.

Hi to all the Pocket GPS World team members.
I originally posted this back in April just before you changed servers and, unfortunately, my original post was lost in the move.
I don't know if you are still thinking of 2004 summit venues, but if I may be so bold as to make a (probably impossible!) suggestion...
My boyfriend and I recently enjoyed a weekend break at the Tortworth Court Four Pillars Hotel in Wooton-Under-Edge, Gloucestershire. Having been there before, we were as impressed by the location of the hotel as the premises itself.
One of the major attraction for a lot of people/businesses is the hotel's impressive conference and function facilities. Here is the link to the conference facilities page of the Tortworth Court Hotel website.
Another bonus is that if the summit were for a weekend like last time (Friday to Sunday), accomodation would be readily available on site.
The prices are available on request (ahem) so please feel free to laugh hysterically and dismiss this idea after emailing the hotel, however I thought I would just throw the idea in as a suggestion, that's all.
Bo Peep.

Forgot to say in my last post...
The other advantage of this location is that the POI file has already been created!
Yay - my 100th post!!

Unfortunately due to server issues and other things taking up huge amounts of our time, we haven't been able to start organising something yet, and it is starting to get a little late in the day. We need to pull something together soon, or we could just go for summer bi-weekly meet ups, whichever people would prefer ? |

Personally, I don't mind. I enjoyed the last meet-up very much and feel certain that future meets would be equally as successful.
As I (like a few others) missed out on the last summit due to previous engagements, it would be nice to be able to experience a weekend summit at some point (maybe later in the year or even next summer) but I fully understand that these things take a huge amount of organising and am aware that you guys all have other commitments.
Either option would suit me fine - I'm very easy to please!

Hi Bo Peep
Now this is nothing to do with the forum but I couldn't help notice your post regarding Tortworth Court. I trust you had an enjoyable time, it's a lovely setting. Certainly an excellent venue for a summit. I don't live too far away from there and used to spend many happy hours fishing the lake.
I like your comment regarding the Tariff, of course I suppose we might be able to get cheap accomodation next door (and I'm sure I don't need to say where that is).
Next time you are in that area let me know we might be able to meet up.
Best wishes
