Salford GIS Develop New "On-Car Navigation" System

Spy cameras over the weekend snapped what appears to be a new development in On-Car Navigation systems. At a secret location in Southport two characters were seen applying maps to the exterior of an old BMW. However, shortly after this photograph was taken, sources advise us that the car was driven off at high-speed (a BMW 518 at high-speed, you're having a laugh?) to a secure covered compound, where development work could continue unhindered (and in the dry!!!!).

Paul and Chris were unavailable for comment this evening, but word on the grapevine is that the new system will be unveiled before the end of the week.

Initial speculation that the system would be limited to UK coverage only has since been quashed by the release, this evening, of a series of official photographs. These latest pictures confirm that the new navigation system provides international coverage. However, the developers seem keen to keep the car under wraps until the official launch.

Experts who have since studied the above photographs are of the opinion that development work is in the final stages of completion and that the pictures indicate that the car is being prepared for the application of a waterproofing coat of cellulose lacquer. Lets hope that whoever has the task of applying this lacquer coating has taken the necessary precaution of working in a well-ventilated environment - failure to do so could result in the operator churning out spoof news articles in the mistaken belief that he had become an investigative reporter.

Ah, now I understand...when you're at full speed tearing up Europe, you'll be able to walk alongside to read the maps and get blessed relief from the exhaust noise!
Watch out for cyclists in France, you wouldn't want to asphyxiate them 'or catch their onions' as they overtake you!!
