Why is in-car GPS navigation a good idea?  Well according to a new survey from TomTom it takes just 23 minutes for young kids to get bored on long car journeys…so if there’s a faster way to get to where you’re going then you probably want to know about it.

Average time for children aged 2-8 years old to get bored on a long car journey:
Australia 23 minutes
UK 24 minutes
Spain 25 minutes
Italy 26 minutes
Netherlands 27 minutes
US 30 minutes
France 30 minutes
Germany 31 minutes
New Zealand 39 minutes

If you haven’t checked out the latest in GPS Navigaion, then you may be surprised to find that it’s more than just a map that works with arrows and voice guidance to point you to your destination.

With the right device you can avoid heavy traffic or roadwork and find the closest toilet stop, restaurant and play area for the kids along the way.

You’ll find a range of GPS Navigation devices at your local electronics retailer plus you’ll find info on some suggested models at www.tomtom.com.
