It means that I can bargain and buy stuff on our local Dutch e-Bay type site (Marktplaats). The Tom Tom takes me to the smallest villages or streets I didn't even know existed.
BUT today I'd picked up one bargain of two suns beds for 10 euros..... then was supposed to carry on to pick up some pots for the garden. The Tom Tom would not pick up a signal and I had to revert to looking at a map and eventually phoning home for directions :~( This all took twice as long and meant a lot of stopping, turning around and generally getting het up.

Nowadays these are places are called 'woonerf' which literally translated means 'living on small plot of land' where pedestrians and cyclists have priority over motorists, and the size of the houses and streets is usually small. Plus the configuration of the roads means it's really hard to find a particular number.

Eventually, after several false turns, I found the house I needed, but it made me wonder how ambulances, fir engines or even delivery vans find these addresses ! Must be a nightmare !
