Guys check out TFC quickly, TFC have been on sky news about the congestion charge, the share price is starting to pick up, watch sky news, TFC keep getting mentioned, even the finance director was showing off there satnav

yes mate... topped up.. glad to see around pach, Alistair darling is making the announcment at 1pm today.. we are going to rocket

Gone long this morning should be a good drive,touch under 47.

Make that the 8.

Dave, I reckon TFC could be the next microsoft for satnav's, imagine each car with TFC's blackbox so as to use for the congestion charge, that means every car will be able to use smartnav, this suggests that car maufacturers will be foreced in to fitting TFC's black box and therefore take up smartnav, they will have a monopoly, I wonder how the goverment will get round that one

Katcenka,thats a big ask long term lets just see how the next few weeks pan out.

I think this afternoon this will close 30% up dave

BMW AND MINI PROVIDE SMARTER DEALS


For immediate release 2nd June 2005



BMW AND MINI PROVIDE SMARTER DEALS


BMW and MINI UK are now offering its approved Aftersales Accessory satellite navigation system, Smartnav, at an even lower price. Customers can now purchase Smartnav for 549 instead of 579. This price includes the unit, connection and a 24 month warranty.

In addition BMW and MINI have now approved Smartnavs Touch Screen, a small screen that complements the verbal instructions with clear graphics that display manoeuvres. This option is available at an additional cost.

Smartnav truly is value for money. Not only does it provide up-to-date navigation, but it uses Trafficmasters live traffic information to calculate the best route and monitor the journey for any new delays. Smartnav is supported by dedicated round the clock assistants, who at a simple touch of a button on the dashboard, take down the drivers destination details and logs them into a central computer. The computer stores mapping that is updated every quarter and calculates the optimum route. This is sent to the Smartnav unit in the car within seconds.

Smartnav is already a popular accessory within the 156 BMW and MINI dealerships across the country and can be fitted on all MINI vehicles and the following BMWs; new 1 Series, previous and new BMW 3 Series and the BMW 5 Series. Most BMW dealerships are able to provide Smartnav demonstrations and in some outlets, bodyshop and service departments courtesy cars are fitted with Smartnav so that customers can experience the benefits of Smartnav first hand.

BMW and MINI dealerships offer Smartnav from 699 including fitting. Annual subscription for the navigation and 24 hour Smartnav personal assistant is 120 and Touch Screen costs 199.
