Just made my way back from the show.

Interesting to see and compare the units on display including the Garmin I was looking at purchasing as well as some other vendors I haven't come across, so work starts again to see if its still the best one!

I was a little disappointed that it wasn't possible to purchase units at the show, I'd have thought it was a perfect time to have some kind of 'show offer' but clearly this wasn't the intention.

Shame.

Really good show.
I am trying to find a replacement satnav as my old one is getting, well, old.
I have been trawling through the forums looking for recommendations to help in the search, but nothing beats a bit of hands on(!!).
I attended with my list of three postcodes which have caused problems in the past, and was able to test these with all the satnavs on offer. I got some unusual results, and very little consistency, considering there are only two main map suppliers, a bit of an eye-opener.
However, it did help me decide on the unit I wanted, but, despite having the cash in hand, I couldn't buy one Sad

Still, no "show day" discount but still the chance to arm-wrestle someone on Tottenham Court Road Laughing

Many thanks to you all for organising this show.
I had a great time, especially on the viaMichelin stand.

Very well organised show, lots of great info and enough time to really get a hands-on feel for the units/software/accesories.

Thanks to all the staff from PGPSW and the manufacturers, they couldn't have been more friendly or informative. :D

Cheers,

Ali

A good show, and a great chance to see and try all the various makes without some sales person on your back. A reasonable selection of freebies - I'll wear my Navman hat with pride Laughing

I even got to meet the famous "DennisN"

Thanks for putting the show on, and I reckon the POCKEWTGPSWORLD staff deserve a good drink tonight.

Really good show - opened my eyes to all those other companies out there, and walked away with loads of freebies - wont be visiting WH Smiths for a while.

Hi

Many thanks to the Team for another excellent event. I was lucky enough to strike up a conversation with alix776 and he provided a lot of useful information. Can I suggest that at any future event members display a name badge with user name so that ordinary folk like me can identify them and make an approach if convenient.

Regards

But they must have recognised you, Dennis, from your avatar. Laughing

And by the way, I wish you'd remove the picture of your grandad's teeth from your sig. I have a weak stomach, and when I read your posts I have to position it so the teeth are off the bottom of the screen. Mr. Green

I turned up fairly early in the morning, and bought 5 raffle tickets. I was told that the raffle would be drawn later that day and that it did not matter if I was not there at the drawing, since my raffle prize would be set aside for me to collect later. I was also told that the winning ticket numbers would be posted on this web site. Where are they, please? Have I won something wonderful?

Great to see everyone yesterday, seems a good day was had by all. Thanks to all who attended!

Unfortunately, a retailer we had in place found they couldn't make it at the last moment . Whilst there was some stuff on sale, we also felt that there could have been more. We'll make sure there is next time.

The raffle will be drawn as soon as MikeB sorts himself out on his return from Sandown. Last time I saw him (a couple of hours ago) he was en route from the hotel to Sandown to collect the last of the equipment.

Thanks also to all the exhibitors for their support and for the wonderful prizes donated for the Great Ormond Street Hospital draw.

We're thinking of holding the next exhibition in the Manchester area. Any suggestions for venues that can hold 2 or 3 thousand of us?
