| www.brantz.co.ukWell, I would wouldn't I, have a look, they do the basic, which will be all you need, they do the 4x4 sensor, which fits to prob shaft etc, or, if electronic speedo, the adapter to fit that. Resonable value for money. BUT, on the event, you will get by with the standard one on your speedo any way, and there are many out there that work on I phone, laptops etc etc. Have fun | |

| If you have a TomTom Satnav you can install Trip Master or Off Road Navigator. Both are free from here. http://www.webazar.org/tomtom/plugins.php?lang=ukWe used Trip Master in 2010 and it was excellent. It's also worth bearing in mind that if your vehicle has larger than standard tyres, then the standard odometer will be out. | |

| If you have a Garmin satnav that has an odometer/trip meter function. | |

| Unfortunately David we have the TomTom so this could be a good excuse for Allan to have yet another gadget -  The suggestion earlier re installing function on TomTom is not compatible with ours either!! Maybe we'll just muddle through like Allan and Simon did last time  | |

| If you have an i-phone, load the free GPS App 'Dashboard' and use that. Running costs are nil as it uses GPS not the phone network. The roadbooks/tulips have been created using Dashboard. That's it - no more clues  | |

| Keith, did you resolve the spanish translation for the road book, and I think I have sorted the track out of the Pyrennes, bit rough, not sure if the green oval things will make it, but the Mitsi and Nissan will. | |
