GT Omega Wheel Stand With Logitech G29 Steering Wheel
2 of 2 found this helpful Just bought a GT Omega wheel stand for my Logitech G29 Steering wheel I previously had a wheel stand with a single column which was sort of ok with my Logitech DFGT as I had no clutch pedal or H Shifter but it used to slide if you braked hard and you would have to keep pulling it back towards you.
This GT Omega Wheel Stand OH! what a difference firstly it is absolutely rock solid no matter how hard you brake it wont slide thanks to the weight and the big round rubber feet that you can attach also I found no side wobble when turning the steering wheel which was a big problem with my previous stand plus the added advantage of no centre column so perfect for pedals with a clutch.
This stand also comes pre drilled for fitting a lot of different wheels and pedals unfortunately the G29 doesn't seem to be one of them this was not a problem as it comes with a bracket that slides up and holds he pedals firmly in place which is adjustable it also has an attachment for the H Shifter which can be fitted on either the left or the right of the steering wheel depending on the players preference.
The GT Omega Wheel Stand is an all metal construction and should be easily adjustable for most wheels it is pre assembled with just a few screws needed to lock it into the desired position this is one solidly built wheel and as such is pretty heavy it also comes with the screws to attach the pedals and steering wheel to the stand which I thought was a nice touch by the manufacturer.
So in my honest opinion at the price of around £100.00 you get a good quality solid wheel stand with the H shifter attachment at a really good price other wheel stands of this build quality will cost over £200.00 so it's a no brainer.

Navman S50 Car GPS Receiver
55 of 57 found this helpful The new Navman S50 is by far the best Navman to date, with its faster processor start-up time is a lot quicker than on the older models, and it also benefits by having the full 8 digit postcodes. There are some nice new touches like the voice instructions which now tell you when entering or leaving the motorway, the name of the motorway or the road you are going on to.
The 4.3" Touchscreen-Widescreen is clear and responsive,and there are separate buttons for petrol stations and car parks,it also uses the latest Teleatlas maps.
The S50 still retains all the features of the older models such as 3d map,2d map next 4 turns,search by postcode,poi,address,town,.Also has the distance travelled,distance to travel,eta,speed camera alerts,mph,automatic audible alert when you exceed the speed limit,TMC,and a a Bluetooth link which i found works great.
But the one thing that really makes it stand apart from other Satnavs is the ability to display the house numbers of the road that you are travelling on at the bottom of the screen.So if you know the road but not exactly where the number you are looking for is, you just watch the house numbers on the bottom of the satnav screen.Perfect if you do lots of local deliveries saves time having to keep putting in postcodes or the address.
I am a delivery driver and know most of the roads in the area I deliver to, but probably not exactly where the number I am looking for is on a particular road,I just leave the Satnav on free roam and watch the house numbers as they change on screen, I am never more than one door away from where I want to deliver to.
All in all with its bigger screen, improved slim design, better sound and ease of use, the best Navman so far. Also they have improved the windscreen mount the S50 just slides on and off no pressing clips.In my opinion a really great bit of kit.Recently used it to travel down to Norfolk for a boating holiday never took a wrong turn there or back, even used it on the boat shows where you are on the river.I have used TomTom which was ok but had to keep putting in the address or postcode which was a pain.If you want a decent Satnav at a resonable price that has all the features you will ever need to get from A to B then get a Navman S50,If you just want a Satnav that you can put silly voices on then get a TomTom at twice the price.Also has Bluetooth on so you can pair it with your mobile phone,and be notified if you receive any calls whilst driving.All in all I have had several Satnavs and I definatly rate this as the best,Thanks for taking the time to read this review.
