With the World Cup less than 100 days away accommodation is becoming scarce in all the areas where games are being played, especially in Cape Town where England are likely to be playing twice (if they progress through the group stage).

One of our travel partners have the ideal property available for rent for the duration of the World Cup. The house is situated on the spectacular Erinvale Golf and Country Club in Somerset West just 35 minutes from the Green Point stadium in Cape Town. When games are not being played this is the perfect location if you enjoy playing golf, visiting the many wineries, shopping or just relaxing.

The house is a 3 bedroom property that has been recently refurbished in January 2010. There are 2 bathrooms, new fitted kitchen, open plan dining and lounge area and excellent outdoor living including a swimming pool. The house enjoys views on to the championship golf course (home to the SA Open in 2003 and 2004) and is surrounded by the Helderberg mountains.

To find out more information and rates on renting this property during the World Cup South Africa 2010 then please contact Zintech on 01202 741212 and ask for Andy.

We have recently partnered with a new Golf GPS website called www.gpsgolfpro.co.uk. With GPS being used in a number of different applications nowadays golf is proving to be one of the most popular. An important part in golf is calculating the correct distance to the hole. In the past this has been guesstimated with the aid of course markers or yardage charts but with the invent of GPS this is possible through a standalone handheld device. The golf GPS device can calculate distances in either metres or yardages from the point at which you stand to the flag, accurate to within +/- 1 metre.

GPS Golf Pro supply some of the leading brands in golf gps devices such as SkyCaddie, Bushnell and Sonocaddie. The website is run by PGA Golf Professionals so you have the peace of mind that all products will be of a high quality and at a great price. Orders can be placed online and all delivery costs are free of charge. The website launched in February 2010 and will shortly be adding other products to its product range such as irons, drivers, balls and training aids. GPS Golf Pro also has a news page providing you with all the latest news from the world of golf. As the website is run by golf professionals there will also be regular tips and advice on improving all aspects of your game.

TomTom state that the coverage is as follows, street network coverage Bahrain 99%, Kuwait 99%, Qatar 99%, Oman 80%, Saudi Arabia 82%, UAE 99%. There are 183,620 Kms of roads covered through the entire region with 90,794 points of interest. House number coverage in Kuwait is 99% and in UAE is 36%. As well as being able to navigate from house to house you can also travel from country to country across border.

Although driving laws in Dubai are very similar to many other countries with so many people driving high powered cars on highways with up to 10 lanes accidents are inevitable and the statistics show Dubai to have one of the highest road death rates in the world. A few years ago traffic was unheard of in Dubai, but now growth has overtaken the development of the road network so at peak times there are jams that would not be out of place in London.

The TomTom device we will be supplying for hire in the Middle East will contain seamless mapping for the whole area. Prices for Sat Nav Hire Middle East start from £31.02 for the first week and just £63.33 for one month.

This will be another kick in the teeth for the likes of TomTom and Garmin who specialise in personal navigation devices. Their shares took a tumble in the last quarter of 2009 following Google’s announcement of a free mobile navigation app and this news is another nail in the coffin for these stand alone devices.

Our TomTom South Africa units contain recent mapping with 1000’s of point of interest making navigation very easy. There are a few places that are worth a visit which can often be off the beaten track with no precise address. Fortunately, this does not pose a problem when using the TomTom. There is an excellent feature when plotting your route that allows you to enter your GPS coordinates. How do I know the coordinates? you may ask. Most of the places that are in the middle of nowhere such as some game reserves and vineyards display their GPS coordinates on their website. If not, you can visit www.itouchmap.com where you can pinpoint a location on a map and it will give you the precise coordinates. Even better, if you email us your destinations after placing your order we will pre-program the places for you free of charge.

We can also provide you with car hire for South Africa and many other travel extras.

TomTom have recently released mapping for the middle east that we will soon be offering on our website. The countries covered are Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This has been quite a long time coming for whatever reason but with more people visiting the Gulf it should prove very popular. Perhaps the only drawback is with so many new roads being built in places such as Dubai the mapping will be hard to keep up to date. However, having a GPS for these countries is far better than using a map which is likely to be evn more out of date. In the past we have lots of requests for mapping for the middle east for people either holidaying on business or visting family that have moved out there.

TomTom boast 183,620 kms or roads covered as well as 90,794 points of interest (POI) included for the whole region. In Kuwait there is 99% house number coverage and in UAE there is 36%. The mapping is seamless allowing you to travel form country to country cross border.

We will be stocking these products in the coming weeks so look out for them on our website. Our prices will be the same as our other non UK products.

Map coverage is as follows:

Bahrain 99%  Kuwait 99%  Oman 80%  Qatar 99%  Saudi Arabia 82%  UAE 99%

If you are planning a trip to the middle east and require a sat nav please email us.

It is now just 155 days to the 2010 World Cup and now that the draw for the group games has been made people are now in the process of booking flights, accommodation, car hire and of course sat nav hire. Prices are inflated for flights and accommodation but we are able to offer excellent deals on car rental and also sat navs. We have already had a good number of people hire a sat nav from us for the World Cup and we anticipate running out of stock nearer the time. Therefore we would recommend getting your sat nav hire order in early to avoid disappointment. With England’s group games to be played in Rustenburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth some considerable driving will be involved unless you take internal flights which are likely to be fully booked or very expensive. If ever there was a country when you would want to do a lot of driving it would have to be South Africa. They drive on the left hand side as we do and the scenery throughout the country is breathtaking.

England’s Group Games:

England V USA        12th June Rustenburg

England V Algeria    18th June Cape Town

England V Slovenia  23rd June Port Elizabeth
