I noticed in Wales, MAG in conjunction with the police have set up a system whereby all the yellow Ride Safe signs have a number so if you're near one of those, you just call in the number on the sign to identify where you are. The signs are all over the place, but I wonder how effective it will be. Still, it all helps.
Would be good if it could be set up nationwide. It wouldn't necessarily have to be just on Ride Safe signs. Maybe just on certain road signs (e.g. speed limit signs, just as an example), or a separate system specially introduced.
numpty question, if I use Google maps, do I have to have an internet connection or GPS turned on........obviously the more stuff switched on drains the battery or can it be done "off line" so to speak?
