Yes: back to 10 for everyone, effective Jan 1st
No: it's fine as it is, and Franck's got enough on his plate already
Don't care: you spend too much time worrying about this

What were you thinking?Originally Posted by El Salsero Gringo
I can come up with 3 idea's...
- use a handheld GPS unit and mark a waypoint when you park the car then take the unit with you
- Bluetooth car key
- check number on parking lot
That's way too low-tech though. As a bare minimum you should at least:Originally Posted by wittybird
- use camera phone to take picture(s) of where car is
Love dance, will travel
I was thinking that if you had long range bluetooth in your phone, and you could get a long-range bluetooth GPS receiver, then if you couldn't find your car you could get a (5-10m accurate) location fix from the GPS (which you would leave in the car) as long as you were within about 100m, and your phone could overlay that onto a map. Probably just about on the limit, since if you were close enough to guarantee a BT connection you'd probably be able to see the car. The long range version of the idea has a GSM modem built in that can transmit its location, but then you have to have an extra mobile subscription for it.Originally Posted by wittybird
All sounds far too complicated. Thank goodness it's quicker to walk than drive to my local Tescos.
If I go somewhere else where I have to take the car, perhaps I'll just remember where I parked...
Isn't it enough that when you use the remote control to turn off the alarm & open the central locking that your car will chirp at you and maybe flash its lights?
If you don't have a remote alarm system, well I'd suggest that it'd be cheaper to fit one than to go down any of the routes outlined by the others above...

Nope, "I lost my fun in Tesco's car park" just doesn't have quite the same ring as "I left my heart in San Francisco", but thanks for playing...
Well it's your own fault if you had done as ESG and I suggested you wouldn't of lost it.Originally Posted by ducasi

It's true. And women keep stealing my heart away.Originally Posted by wittybird
Perhaps I do need a GPS tracker in my heart after all.

I say scrap the crap thing (somtimes)
some people are totally obsessed about it
