From: Champ on 1 Aug 2010 19:24 I was amused to see that the new Ferrari 458, as featured in tonight's top gear, places the electronic speedo and satnav display in the same piece of screen real-estate on the dash, such that you can switch between the two displays. This means that you can either know how fast you're going, or know where you are, but not both at the same time. I'm guessing there's someone at Ferrari secretly hugging themselves with their little joke. -- Champ We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.

That's what I thought and then I realised it was just superpositioning -- geoff

Except the screen to the left of the tacho also had a digital speed readout on it, iirc.

And most satnavs display the speed at the bottom of the screen. |
