Navigate with your Michelin sat nav as you wear out your Michelin tyres visiting destinations that you've read about in the Michelin restaurant guides. Will the new budget X970T put this brand on the sat nav map?

Why do businesses presume everyone has decent spec pc and internet. It's getting far to common and should be stopped
My mum has a average pc, but no 'tinterweb connection. So this would have to come to my house, install the crap software and then update on my connection.
I bought one. Ended up phoning France just to register. Not long ago it told me to "Turn Sharp Right immediately" - great....I was in a tunnel under the Clyde at the time.
Much better in France where it took me several thousand miles without a hitch.
Typed it into my non-sat nav system (X41 Thinkpad, T-Mob broadband, www.viamichelin.com), and it was 11th in the list of possible options. viamichelin.com AFAIK is the only UK street mapping with house numbers.

Not true - the mapping system in my Acer e305 (NAVTEQ/Destinator, I think) does house numbers but it doesn't do postcodes - a minor annoyance, but I can live with it. It's also about 50 quid cheaper than the one reviewed here.
