I recently bought a TomTom satnav that claimed to be compatible with Apples. In reality, it's limited: I had a total crash, and the company's advice is to find someone with a PC to correct the problem. Do you know of any satnav systems that are totally compatible with Apple Macs? Many people have found they are unable to update satnav units or fix bugs because they aren't truly Mac-friendly. A year or so ago, there would have been little option but to suck it up, but you are in luck: Garmin has bought up a small company called MotionBased, which makes Apple-compatible systems - go to garmin.com/macosx for more details. I have a pre-Scart TV that I'd like to connect to a Freeview box. Is there any way of linking old and new? Older sets don't have the same connectors as new ones, but there are several easy fixes. You could buy a Freeview receiver with an in-built aerial output - Switchhelp.co.uk recommends the £39.99 TVonics MFR 200. Or you could run your Freeview through another box that has an older aerial connector, such as a video recorder. If all that fails, buy an RF modulator - this will convert one signal to another - for around £25 from any high street electronics shop.
