If, like me, you prefer not to have your navigation interrupted by phone calls, messages and any other non-driving-related trivia that we are now prone to all the time, then a dedicated PND which you ...

Just got a TomTom 6200 wifi model (so I can avoid draining the phone and running afoul of the LAW) and oh boy is it SLOW. Once you are navigating it mostly keeps up but before you set off the menus an ...

..., as is usually the case with TomTom, I am not getting a choice about this.

In fact choice is in very short supply with the new app - the option to avoid a part of a route has appeared in the m ...

SO the OP is incorrect? Well good, because as I said, most satnavs need some interaction at some point, especially TomTom.

As you were, I'll go back to sleep now.

Also I don't think I have as much faith in the accuracy and relevance of all speed limits as some seem to - there needs to be a re ...

It would be dead handy for hatching pokemon eggs and visiting hard-to-reach pokestops...

I think image recognition is good enough in phones now that you should be able to open up an app that reads the map and highlights where you are on it as a VR overlay - in fact it could just read the ...

Have a look at Cordex - the plastic corrugated board used by estate agents to make their signs. Also good for guinea pig hutches because of that waterproofness.
