I like Aldi Supermarkets, particularly when we are on the Continent.
There is no getting away from it, our local store has the reputation as the gathering place for the Unwashed, unfortunate but true.
My Medion Sat Nav came from Aldi, it was an unresearched purchase on a Sunday morning, the night before a friend gave me a print out advertising a 'limited supply offer' typical of Aldi. He had purchased a Medion Sat Nav from Aldi previously, a different model with lots of maps.
They work well he said, and he was right. What I didn't realise was I was buying obsolescence. It is areal shame for a good bit of kit.I suppose lot of them get broken by the kids in a short time, mine looks like new.
Now after my mods it is a Hand Held PC, I knew it could be done but I was wary of stopping it being a mediocre Medion when it was new. I wish had done it a couple of years ago. I complained to Medion recently about their product and had to supply the purchase date, it was May 2006. I couldn't purchase a France map last year so yep 12months and it becomes obsolete. What a poor show.
I won't say it was easy, I admit to some frustration at times, I may even have said knickers once or a hundred times. Now I have installed TomTom with Great Britain map and France Map.
It is good, others who have converted their MD 96800 and installed TomTom have said the same. Take care you frog bloggers we are one step nearer to our annual invasion. In fact several steps. I have cleaned up the 'van, re sealed all the trim strips and yesterday sterilised and pumped several gallons of water through the system.
