Thanks Mike,
You are most welcome.
One of the other attributes I like about them is that they can also act as a real-time
"poor man's" Over The Horizon RADAR Head Up Display (HUD).
For example, late at night driving on unfamiliar winding mountain roads in rural
California, I found myself referencing the navigator screen in the corner of
my eye as the road twisted and turned before me. Often you then
gain preemptive knowledge that the next up and coming corner is a hair
pin and correct your speed and line accordingly. It doesn't act as a replacement
for advisory signs or driving prudence and common sense, but can act as
an additional aid. Likewise, on the Great Ocean Road this year or even
on the road going to Lostock, it is nice to have that "over the horizon RADAR"
sense of a bend that you are about to take.
Best Regards
Gary
