You can download apps with wifi without a sim.

And I can vouch that an E5 runs TomTom OK (if slowly).

The real issue with simless is live traffic updates.


True but IIRC one of the benefits of a SatNav for Tim would be
keeping him out of the London CC zone (if he ever ventures again
into this plague place) which doesn't require them.* He might even
prefer not to be tempted to take a detour that costs £15?

Huh! The current plan (Euro5 diesel) is to avoid the place
altogether or* buy a modest cost electric shopper.

is there such a thing?
Modest cost seems a illusive:-(

Elusive or illusory, but never illusive

Why thank you!

I meant to say *hard to find* but my spell checker couldn't agree.

The grant money seems to have been added to the manufacturers price
structure.

you could build the equivalent of an electric 2CV for peanuts but it
would never get through regulations.

The whole point of regulations is to make extra work for Euroworkers
and extra profit for Eurobusiness.

The whole carbon neutral thing is nothing to do with the planet and
everything to do with enforced obsolescence.
