Shoes with built in sat-nav !
Find your way home after a trip to the Rugby Club or Garveys.......
A PAIR of shoes with built-in satellite-navigation are set to revolutionise the way we find our way about town.
The trainers cost £129.95 and contain a GPS tracking chip that works just like the one in your car.
You simply type a postcode into the display on the tongue and the shoes will guide you there.
An LED light bubble on the tip of each foot acts as a visual guide showing whether to turn left, right or go straight ahead.
A loud beep signals if you've taken a step in the wrong direction.
There's also a waterproof speaker in the heel that can be activated to give proper voice details of where you're heading.
And the Sat Nav Shoes even hook up to a Bluetooth headset meaning you don't have to annoy passers-by with the monotone drone.
Droidwear, who make the gizmos, claims they'll put an end to fumbling through a map as you pound the streets.
They also cut the risk of bashing into a lamppost as you search for directions on your mobile phone.
Powered by two rechargeable AA batteries, which last up to 2.5 hours, they went on sale at Firebox.com this morning.

This gizmo would be great for Qatar! Every damned villa looks the same...landmarks are impossible (I live behind the square gray/ tan builing with the dead palm trees in the front!)
Can't anyone find their way home these days without the need for technology?
