I do love reading posts made by people that work in Marketing.

Is Blue&Me Nav not available in the UK because Fiat are releasing an alternative, or are Fiat releasing an alternative because they can't get Blue&Me Nav to work in the UK?

It seems odd that we weren't told about this alternative back in January when we were told Blue&Me Nav wouldn't be available!

Seems weird that they can't get a navigation system that uses satellites in the sky to work in the UK. Maybe we have the wrong type of clouds It may be something to do with the licensing of map data or something like that, or some legal technicality regarding operation of navigation on the move, or maybe the price is too high compared to portable sat-navs (the Blue and Me looks like a portable device but at twice the price)

I wonder if anyone does a reto looking type of sat-nav (not the very Expensive classic looking Becker radio sat-nav)?
