Wes aint doing this for no one but himself.
He�s pissed about his car and no one will listen to him bitch about it. Nor will he read any of my posts as he�s clearly convinced himself that somehow I Must sell this car today and its his job to stop me.
Leave the guy be, your only feeding his need to bitch about something.
Still thanks for all the bumps and support. |

Again no, my car was lost 8 months ago. So any resentment I have, is long sense gone. It's for your own good. |

Hi,
Would you consider selling the Mappy separately from the car? I am looking for Sat Nav in English at the moment. |

You can get a map book at any book store for 10,000 won.
I really don't understand this GPS craze. |

Would you rather look at a map while driving or have a GPS direct you exactly where you need to go while you have both hands on the wheel? GPS navigation systems can also be continually updated with the latest maps. |

I think it's safe to say from my comment that I'd rather have the map and my $300 still in the bank. I've driven all over the country, north-south-east-west, and my old atlas has gotten us everywhere we needed to go without issue.
I am not saying that a GPS isn't useful, just that it's kind of a waste of money in my opinion. |

| Yeah I understand your point about going long distances. Think GPS is still better/safer when commuting in the city. |

Sorry not selling the mappy seperate.
About the paper maps: I completely understand back home I hated the "garmin" and other worthless versions. They were out of date and always gave bad directions. Toronto? NY? DC? Think again dumb machine.
Here, many of the paper maps that I tried to use from 2 years ago didnt have comonly used roads on them.
Second problem was roads that had the same number, but shared that number with a simmilar road going in a completely different direction.
This may be a country [think farm] problem as they are working hard to pave this country over. (and get fatter, like way fatter on average than a year ago)
~Go Go little North America~
EDIT: Wes you sick or somethin? Its been a couple hours and you have yet to double post about how wrong we all are.... |

Not we, just you. Please get that right. And GPS units are VERY useful in Korea. Especially if one can't read the language well. |

Anyone who is incapable of learning to read hangeul should not be driving a motor vehicle...the entire system was invented to teach peasant ajoshis to read 400 years ago.
I never said that it wasn't useful....just that it was a waste of money and unnecessary. |

lol Some people are lazy. Plus, you can get around easy enough with a GPS. pretty much anywhere in the country. Beyond that, some folks can NOT read maps effectively. I am one of those people, I was even a GIS major during my junior year of university at one point. I've the inability to determine the correct way around a city, barely so with a GPS. |

Air76, you seem to have a lot to say for yourself, all of it negative, unhelpful and frankly very uninteresting. I suggest that you go count the money that you have amassed through not buy consumer items such as designer sunglasses, sat nav ect, and leave everyone else to get on with their own lives and own business in peace. I read Hangul extremely well, and have a paper map! However, from your post about not understanding why someone would want a GPS unit here, it is clear that you have never driven in this country, have no empathy about what it is like here to to be constantly on the watch for suicidal bus drivers, scooters and 4x4 drivers, while trying to find your way through many of the complex junction systems that litter Seoul. from seeing your various posts, and as I told you when you commented a while ago on one of mine, I don't care what psychological issues you suffer from or if you simply don't like spending money, don't like consumerism, capitalism, the free market or what ever, just leave decent people to get on with their lives without having to read the drivel that you constantly post. Your analogy in the sunglasses post about fashion and the concept of the national state (nationalism) is one of the most hilarious, tenuous and worrying things I have ever heard, and I have a Masters Degree in International Relations, however, it may give an undergrad class a laugh the next time I lead a seminar. Get a grip and mind your own business,
OP: Thank you for replying, it is no problem you not wishing to sell the Sat Nav separately. I wish you luck with your sale. I apologise for hijacking you post with the above. |
