these were actually used by truck drivers. If you looked at the bottom there is a socket that could be plugged into the truck computer and give the driver info about fuel and cost to drive.
Great Britain Great Britain 1.0 1.0 sounds like sounds like sounds like sounds like an antagonist's plot an antagonist's plot to destroy to destroy the world the world from some from some cheesy cheesy James Bond film James Bond film.
We have one of these... my mum still uses it too. Not in the car, mind, but it's a good way to get an idea of how long it will take to get from A to B without having to go onto the computer (as elders are loathed to do). So... it has it's uses, even if it is laughable by today's standards.
I knew a girl in Lowestoft....up for anything. Met her while I was on business. She was gorgeous and she never used to charge me as much as her other clients. But she was the only reason I ever visited that God forsaken place. Damn shame when I gave her a bun in the oven and she went out of business. But I'll always have fond memories of the area and lusty lucy.
If i had to pay to have sex with a women i'd probably be very, very depressed. Not that i haven't, you know, when i was younger....but once you realise it's a waste of money, and that clubs are just a more fun way to go....not always cheaper, if you count all the pills, coke, and drinks and entries, but you know. Still more fun.
Spent more time than I should looking for info about this device (I love old dysfunctional electronics). To my horror there actually are updated versions for this, you can look for "Lexibook (or Philips) route finder" on ebay. And they DID release new cards for this thing, at least in 1999 and 2001. Also there supposedly are cards for European cities outside UK (such as Paris). The best thing is that "No need for GPS intervention or hassle" is actually listed as a feature.
In the States (Great Britain 2.0) there was a similar product, only more specialized, sold in the late 80s and early 90s. It was solely what businesses and services were on a particular exit on an interstate. Not only did you have to type in which interstate you're on while driving 70MPH; but you also had to put in which mile marker you're at and which direction you were heading. Then, if you could make out the tiny print on the buttons, it would tell you what was coming up. Just like a sign.
Well, it's better than printing the instructions from the internet and crossing each one off once you have done it, which is what my family still seem to do despite owning a perfectly good sat nav. And a map.
Athens should challenge himself and go on the road put in a destination and only follow it and see if he can arrive at that destination and not cheat by using google maps! That would be interesting to see!!!
Soo... How is this thing gonna start the Golden age of mankind? And when will the Fallen arrive? Also Crota and Oryx? What about Atheon? Or does the Traveler need more time? Also I thought the Traveler was some kind of big white Orb...
Ha! Good to know I wasn't the only one relating this with the broken traveler.. Imagine if you had to use this rather than your ghost to find your way!
I like how Seussical all Great Britain places sound. "Hemsby," "Bumbleflumbleburg," "Pippenlickey McShoobietown," "Floobendoopyshire," It's cute. And no, this wasn't an insult, I genuinely like it haha.
Milton keynes - rather bland but not a bad place. Scottish equivalent is Livingston. The only thing to do is hit the retail cathedral...ashford kent is pretty much the same...
Gemma Barclay Neither Milton Keynes nor Livingston are actually that bad, they're just quite modern and a bit sterile, perhaps a bit boring. Lowestoft really is a shithole, however.
Thomas Jenkins Paper maps are far less reliable as they can never be updated. You're correct that a smartphone isn't free, but I was already going to own the smartphone regardless of it's map capabilities. So the GPS IS free unless you don't already own a smartphone. I believe last I had heard, 65% of American adults own a smartphone. So for a majority of Americans, GPS is free
tj12711 satellite based gps isn't always free depending on your data plan, and it definitely isn't always available given how spotty a signal can be when you're traveling. Map based directions from your phone are only as good as the map, and I can't tell you how many times that's failed me. Nothing beats being able to read an accurate map and figure it out for yourself at a quick glance, which takes less time than programming in your gps if you know what you're doing. However, most people can't figure out which way north is so I guess a lot of individuals would be screwed the moment their phone dies...
@gatsumoro I love watching Ashen's reviews before going to bed. He has an angelic and soothing voice; I think if he ever were attacked by a bear he could shout it to sleep.
It puts me in mind of the early versions of Autoroute, on the Atari/Amiga and MSDOS PCs. Except those did at least have maps... and you could of course use them on the laptop flavours of ST and PC, making this sort of thing slightly redundant. Also I just raced it against myself, looking up Hemsby and tracing back to Milton using GMaps (but just my eyes, not GM's own routefinder). Dead heat. Says it all really?
Kinda reminded me of Google Maps on my old HTC TyTN I back in 2007. No GPS, and you have to manually tell Google maps that you've moved on by using the d-pad on the phone to navigate. It's even worse than the traveller in that if you lost cellphone signal (and that happens a lot back then- what I get for using a budget Cell co), hope your instincts are accurate. On the plus side tho, at least it shows a map...
Please go ahead and name them, then. Nintendo produced some of my favourite childhood games and continues to produce games that still rekindle those childhood memories, and yet advance enough to feel new and keep my interest. You can't really deny that, however you might view Ninty's games, they are certainly a hell of a lot more innovative than anything coming out of Microsoft or Sony, or the vast majority of AAA devs.
I assume, it doesn't have a reroute function in case for example you miss a turn, it doesn't even speak, so you have to rely on reading the screen. (and pressing the button each time you did something) So you most likely to have a bad car accident using this. And let me guess, it was hideously expensive at the time.
"What does Great Britain 1.0 mean? Where's Great Britain 2.0?" Maybe it's Am- "Is that America?" Ashens stole my comment before I could even make it ._.
Had to google milton keynes to know why you wouldn't want to be there. So it's one of those neighbourhoods with lots of houses and nothing else huh.......... my grandma lives in one of those places
It was a built as a "newtown" in the 1960s, primarily to ease the housing shortage caused by the Second World War; hence it's very lacking in character or history compared with other towns in the UK.
I grew up in Lowestoft, it's got a nice beach but apart from that it's best to stay indoors, it's a tired town full of people wasting their life and waiting to die.
UA-camrs.If this is the precursor of todays navigation, i wonder when it was made, for what i know in 1994 there was the fuiji car marty system wich uses a sattlelite navigation system. ,so i eonder if this thing predates the car marty system.
Woops i lost the read and make a car accident because of not concentrating on the road, because i was focussing on reading on this typical weird 90's navigation thing, haha lol.
I demand a live on-stage review (with your sofa and camera etc.), then I demand you to post videos on youtube afterwards from the live event and in them you must make jokes about the random audience that has appeared behind you in your living room.
*checks the comment that started the argument* I think the only thing I have to add to this is, "Surely we can all agree the whole "Apple Maps Is Bad" meme is getting old like a lot of other outdated memes?"
So basically it's an electronic roadbook. they seem to work fine for people in the Paris-Dakar rally but I suppose not ideal for normal driving. Also I've been to Hemsby and it's full of chavs.
Most people that have the brains to understand smartphones (so not you) have about $1000 to $25000 that they can use for anything they want. just because he isn't a brain dead iSheep doesn't mean he doesn't know about apple maps. i mean, it was fucking crazy! that's why apple went back to google maps. if iPhone 5 ran android 4.2.1 jelly bean, it would lag tremendously. it only has a 1GHz processor and bad RAM and the screen isn't even HD! I tested an iPhone in a store and I was like: EEWWWWW!!!
*reads through the comments* ...What the fuck is WRONG with people? I remember endlessly making fun of a friend because he thought Jessica Rabbit was hot. Now kids are talking about having infantile sexual encounters with cartoon horses and its being accepted as a norm... Why? Why is this okay? Why haven't these children's parents taken them to a mental hospital? Fucks sake...
I also live in Milton Keynes and its OK for a sixth form student like me. Well, its better than Blackpool at least. Like most places, all the buses I've been on here are late and smell quiet bad. That's due to me not having a drivers license. Oh I can't wait until I get to go to university...most likely in Norwich though.
@lolzabubbles He already is, he is on UA-cam, making us laugh, and each day he looks at himself in a mirror and thinks, "Why?!" Ok kidding about the last part
All pride is a Ruse. Joy is what you should be after, not pride. Pride's that emotion you get when you're kicked out of the bar at 1AM in the morning with a blood alcohol content of 108.7 and you run up to a cop car yelling all sorts of mess at his windshield...
so its essentially like the google maps route planner but without a map and you can only choose between actual towns and cities but not give it an adress? there is only one punishment for those guys who invented it: they have to use it themselves and die in a car crash...
Because they don't tell their parent's. Odds are they only really ever mention this on the internet where privacy is almost 100% garenteed to you, and you're allowed to say whatever you want.

I was going to make a joke and say that "the original was good" but then to there was to much shitty DLC being added to it, but then I would sound like a racist... lol
I would like to personally apologize to Ashens for those who have turned his comment section into spam of...I don't even want to say. I have no problems with bronies or furries, but DaChazSterTV and SNICKERS 5+1 GRATIS are being particularly rude. Guys, if you truly care about ponies or bronies or whatever, though I doubt it, then please stop further the fandom's bad name - It's getting pretty sad when someone who isn't even a fan wants you to stop on their behalf.
My experience with the Nexus 7 has been fine, I haven't had any problems with it at all. If I did have problems with it, the customer service will probably be fine. I just don't like the way Apple tie you down when you buy one of their products. With the iPad, you're locked into iTunes for media, you're locked into the App store for software, you're locked into Apple for approved accessories, I just don't like it. Apple aren't horrible, they're just egotistic, which is my main gripe with them.
I'm not saying that Apple make terrible products, it's just that you can get something that can do just as much, for a lot cheaper. It's the fanbase that I really hate. They're blind and dumb. They camp outside of shops, just so they can get the new Apple product as soon as it comes out. It's sad because they're merely paying >£300 just for a device with a higher number in the name. They don't seem to know that cheaper devices are just as capable.
Well, because ASUS were partnered with Google to make a Nexus tablet, if something goes wrong with the device, Google could easily fix it, because it's pretty much their own tablet, only it's made by ASUS. Personally, I don't like being tied down to one company. I like having freedom, and being able to choose from a range of devices. I could get a 10 inch, or a 7 inch. I could get one with a camera or without. I could get one with a keyboard or without, I could get one with SD slot if I want to.
Apple really don't offer more in the way of functionality. I can't really see any reason to buy a £269 iPad Mini over a £170 Nexus 7. Also, you argue that anybody can make Android devices, and that's why Android are winning, well if Apple did this as well, they would make more money! But, nope they only allow their own hardware, because Apple is so egotistic, which is why they make less money. I expect that when I pay a higher price, I get a better product, but no that's not the case.
Definition of opinion: "A view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge." Therefore, any 'judgement' on a subject is opinionated by its very nature. Does the video fairly compare every single aspect of both OS's and both of their upsides and downsides, without any bias? No. Furthermore, it doesn't matter how you want to compare them, there will always be situations in which either is better for a particular person's usage.
You mean "Androids vs iOS, the opinion"? All of that is great for those who want it, but iOS is perfect for my usage of a smartphone. Furthermore, the App Store still has the best selection of apps out there. Having a closed platform has its advantages when companies only need to optimise their software to run on around 5 different hardware configurations, rather than the tens (if not hundreds) on Android. I'm not saying either is better. But it's clear that you're biased against iOS.
I'm not talking about hardware issues. I'm talking about innovation. Doing things new and interesting. Nintendo are the only ones who have done that; arguably, Kinect also presents possibilities, but neither the tech nor the games are there yet. But it's very much more about the software. The 360 and PS3 have both been loaded with generic sequels and copycats over the last 5-6 years. I only see truly new ideas within the indie community (predominantly on PC) and Ninty's platforms.
Xbox 360- Terrible GUI and awful DL game system (Microsoft points) but very good live connection and social gaming experience with overall good Xbox only games. Ps3 - Terrible social gaming experience but overall a powerful console Wii - Innovation but does not have the power or marketing strategy to make devs serious about the thing Wii U - Again good idea but marketing and time of release makes it a flop in the gaming industry EVERYTHING HAVE ISSUES DEAL WITH IT
Except they are innovating. The PS4 is literally just a gaming PC in a black box with a controller. The next Xbox is as well, if strong rumours are true. The Wii U's controller does offer unique gameplay possibilities, there just aren't many games that make use of them yet. And it's as much to do with software - Nintendo's first party games are some of the VERY few AAA games that actually innovate, rather than releasing the same games with a new lick of paint (like 99% of the FPS market).
Wait, what? So you're arguing against Apple, and you compare them to Nintendo, the only console manufacturer that's still innovating in both hardware and software? That kind of blows your argument to pieces - an argument which you lose as soon as you say you'll ignore any further argument. Also, Apple products are overpriced, and yet the top end Androids cost as much as the iPhone? There are plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike Apple, and yet people still make shit up to do so. It's funny.
They manufacture the components but Apple designed them. They don't use standard components. In particular, the processor is completely different from anything Samsung uses themselves. They manufacture it because Apple lack the facilities to do so (for now at least), and because it's a contract worth a metric shit-ton of money. I'm not saying this makes their products better, but they don't use components designed by other people. Also, defining the "best" product depends on personal usage.
This is not new. This has been happening since the original creation of the personal computer. Apple and Microsoft have loyal fans, and have since they were created. And then you have people like me who are willing to look at the flaws of both companies and determine which one is better for you. (Hint: I put windows 7 on my macbook pro for my main OS). Also, when a maps program has duplicates of houses, random bridges on land, and turns shopping centers into parks, it is unusable.
@Alantgv And if you're wondering, this is what Ashens replied: @LassePriebe The convention is for over 18's only. @LassePriebe Wow, didn't see your second tweet. Sickening. You can easily see he already felt a tad bit insulted that he was being made out for someone who doesn't care about children with his short as possible and emotionless defence, but he obviously threw in the towel when he read the second one. I can't blame him for finding the tweet sickening and highly insulting...
@Alantgv I didn't know what he said when I wrote my comment, but looked it up for your comment since I was curious as well. If I knew this beforehand I would have said something different, I'd block him as well if I were Ashens, nomatter what my mood is: @ashens what are you gonna say to all the deer-eyed 12 y/o kids, when they come to your stand to ask for a t-shirt and all you got is L/XL? @ashens probably gonna tell them an inappropriate joke about penises as well are you not? Jesus christ.
@LaszeWins Okay, you may have intended for it to be sarcastic, but in cold, emotionless typeface, it did look like you intended to insult him. I wouldn't fret about it, just open a new twitter account just to tell him who you are, that you didn't mean what you said in the way that he took it, and that you're sorry if it offended him. Even if he doesn't end up actually seeing the apology, just remember he saw a tweet he didn't like and simply responded to it. He has nothing againt you personally
H.P.

Now that would make for an interesting video to watch Ashens using outdated directions for a roadtrip.

Also, I can image waiting for this to find the route on a strange road whilst a family of cannibals slowly close in on me.
Thanks, Cinco!
Thats cos everyone is double the size :D oooooh no i didnt (snaps fingers in a camp way)
Great Britain 2.0 is still in beta.
*checks the comment that started the argument*
I think the only thing I have to add to this is, "Surely we can all agree the whole "Apple Maps Is Bad" meme is getting old like a lot of other outdated memes?"
Oh God, it feels like yesterday since BlackBerries were a thing...
Geez this video is old.
So basically it's an electronic roadbook. they seem to work fine for people in the Paris-Dakar rally but I suppose not ideal for normal driving. Also I've been to Hemsby and it's full of chavs.
An excellent sat nav!
Most people that have the brains to understand smartphones (so not you) have about $1000 to $25000 that they can use for anything they want. just because he isn't a brain dead iSheep doesn't mean he doesn't know about apple maps. i mean, it was fucking crazy! that's why apple went back to google maps. if iPhone 5 ran android 4.2.1 jelly bean, it would lag tremendously. it only has a 1GHz processor and bad RAM and the screen isn't even HD! I tested an iPhone in a store and I was like: EEWWWWW!!!
*reads through the comments* ...What the fuck is WRONG with people? I remember endlessly making fun of a friend because he thought Jessica Rabbit was hot. Now kids are talking about having infantile sexual encounters with cartoon horses and its being accepted as a norm... Why? Why is this okay? Why haven't these children's parents taken them to a mental hospital? Fucks sake...
I also live in Milton Keynes and its OK for a sixth form student like me. Well, its better than Blackpool at least. Like most places, all the buses I've been on here are late and smell quiet bad. That's due to me not having a drivers license. Oh I can't wait until I get to go to university...most likely in Norwich though.
@lolzabubbles He already is, he is on UA-cam, making us laugh, and each day he looks at himself in a mirror and thinks, "Why?!" Ok kidding about the last part
All pride is a Ruse. Joy is what you should be after, not pride.
Pride's that emotion you get when you're kicked out of the bar at 1AM in the morning with a blood alcohol content of 108.7 and you run up to a cop car yelling all sorts of mess at his windshield...
so its essentially like the google maps route planner but without a map and you can only choose between actual towns and cities but not give it an adress?
there is only one punishment for those guys who invented it: they have to use it themselves and die in a car crash...
My husband invented it
We all make mistakes.
Awesome
***** calling their children gay, though? a) why would it matter and b) why is that relevant and c) ...why?
***** You're a moron.
Durtle
Why? Do you have any reason for thinking that, or are you just being pointlessly dickish?
You made this for stick aid who give money to unicef. Jolly good.
Hope your going to donate the money you get from Google ad sense on this video.
talking rubbish about something what he dont understand or know how it should be used :-D
Because they don't tell their parent's. Odds are they only really ever mention this on the internet where privacy is almost 100% garenteed to you, and you're allowed to say whatever you want.
My dad was one of the 12 peopke who bought one!! He likes gadgets that he can never use! Still not got the hang of sky+ yet, but noe has an android tablet, just to play solitaire on!!
Hey mind if I try my hand at making a knockoff?
Travel-mate the space-age electronic navigational aid. Use everyday and find yourself! Type the places and move to the streets!
I was going to make a joke and say that "the original was good" but then to there was to much shitty DLC being added to it, but then I would sound like a racist... lol
When you said lets go somewhere nice and wrote hem i was like noway your going to say hemel Hempstead is nice 😂
Huh, the time said 5:01, at first, but then it just went to five minutes straight. Dammit, UA-cam, you tricked me into losing one second of Ashens. D:
So it's digital MapQuest. I don't see anything wrong with that.
An exactly 5 minute long video!
@DokiDokiP Yea he is. Thats probably why it made me more sad than it should. It was like our year-long virtual friendship ended that night :P
ever heard of Hungary? it was tossed between manufacturers so much,it is a direct competitor to Duke Nukem Forever!
I would like to personally apologize to Ashens for those who have turned his comment section into spam of...I don't even want to say. I have no problems with bronies or furries, but DaChazSterTV and SNICKERS 5+1 GRATIS are being particularly rude. Guys, if you truly care about ponies or bronies or whatever, though I doubt it, then please stop further the fandom's bad name - It's getting pretty sad when someone who isn't even a fan wants you to stop on their behalf.
My experience with the Nexus 7 has been fine, I haven't had any problems with it at all. If I did have problems with it, the customer service will probably be fine. I just don't like the way Apple tie you down when you buy one of their products. With the iPad, you're locked into iTunes for media, you're locked into the App store for software, you're locked into Apple for approved accessories, I just don't like it. Apple aren't horrible, they're just egotistic, which is my main gripe with them.
I'm not saying that Apple make terrible products, it's just that you can get something that can do just as much, for a lot cheaper. It's the fanbase that I really hate. They're blind and dumb. They camp outside of shops, just so they can get the new Apple product as soon as it comes out. It's sad because they're merely paying >£300 just for a device with a higher number in the name. They don't seem to know that cheaper devices are just as capable.
Well, because ASUS were partnered with Google to make a Nexus tablet, if something goes wrong with the device, Google could easily fix it, because it's pretty much their own tablet, only it's made by ASUS. Personally, I don't like being tied down to one company. I like having freedom, and being able to choose from a range of devices. I could get a 10 inch, or a 7 inch. I could get one with a camera or without. I could get one with a keyboard or without, I could get one with SD slot if I want to.
Apple really don't offer more in the way of functionality. I can't really see any reason to buy a £269 iPad Mini over a £170 Nexus 7. Also, you argue that anybody can make Android devices, and that's why Android are winning, well if Apple did this as well, they would make more money! But, nope they only allow their own hardware, because Apple is so egotistic, which is why they make less money. I expect that when I pay a higher price, I get a better product, but no that's not the case.
Definition of opinion: "A view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge." Therefore, any 'judgement' on a subject is opinionated by its very nature. Does the video fairly compare every single aspect of both OS's and both of their upsides and downsides, without any bias? No. Furthermore, it doesn't matter how you want to compare them, there will always be situations in which either is better for a particular person's usage.
You mean "Androids vs iOS, the opinion"?
All of that is great for those who want it, but iOS is perfect for my usage of a smartphone. Furthermore, the App Store still has the best selection of apps out there. Having a closed platform has its advantages when companies only need to optimise their software to run on around 5 different hardware configurations, rather than the tens (if not hundreds) on Android.
I'm not saying either is better. But it's clear that you're biased against iOS.
I'm not talking about hardware issues. I'm talking about innovation. Doing things new and interesting. Nintendo are the only ones who have done that; arguably, Kinect also presents possibilities, but neither the tech nor the games are there yet. But it's very much more about the software. The 360 and PS3 have both been loaded with generic sequels and copycats over the last 5-6 years. I only see truly new ideas within the indie community (predominantly on PC) and Ninty's platforms.
Xbox 360- Terrible GUI and awful DL game system (Microsoft points) but very good live connection and social gaming experience with overall good Xbox only games. Ps3 - Terrible social gaming experience but overall a powerful console Wii - Innovation but does not have the power or marketing strategy to make devs serious about the thing Wii U - Again good idea but marketing and time of release makes it a flop in the gaming industry EVERYTHING HAVE ISSUES DEAL WITH IT
Except they are innovating. The PS4 is literally just a gaming PC in a black box with a controller. The next Xbox is as well, if strong rumours are true. The Wii U's controller does offer unique gameplay possibilities, there just aren't many games that make use of them yet. And it's as much to do with software - Nintendo's first party games are some of the VERY few AAA games that actually innovate, rather than releasing the same games with a new lick of paint (like 99% of the FPS market).
Wait, what? So you're arguing against Apple, and you compare them to Nintendo, the only console manufacturer that's still innovating in both hardware and software? That kind of blows your argument to pieces - an argument which you lose as soon as you say you'll ignore any further argument. Also, Apple products are overpriced, and yet the top end Androids cost as much as the iPhone? There are plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike Apple, and yet people still make shit up to do so. It's funny.
They manufacture the components but Apple designed them. They don't use standard components. In particular, the processor is completely different from anything Samsung uses themselves. They manufacture it because Apple lack the facilities to do so (for now at least), and because it's a contract worth a metric shit-ton of money.
I'm not saying this makes their products better, but they don't use components designed by other people. Also, defining the "best" product depends on personal usage.
This is not new. This has been happening since the original creation of the personal computer. Apple and Microsoft have loyal fans, and have since they were created. And then you have people like me who are willing to look at the flaws of both companies and determine which one is better for you. (Hint: I put windows 7 on my macbook pro for my main OS). Also, when a maps program has duplicates of houses, random bridges on land, and turns shopping centers into parks, it is unusable.
@Alantgv And if you're wondering, this is what Ashens replied:
@LassePriebe The convention is for over 18's only.
@LassePriebe Wow, didn't see your second tweet. Sickening.
You can easily see he already felt a tad bit insulted that he was being made out for someone who doesn't care about children with his short as possible and emotionless defence, but he obviously threw in the towel when he read the second one. I can't blame him for finding the tweet sickening and highly insulting...
@Alantgv I didn't know what he said when I wrote my comment, but looked it up for your comment since I was curious as well. If I knew this beforehand I would have said something different, I'd block him as well if I were Ashens, nomatter what my mood is:
@ashens what are you gonna say to all the deer-eyed 12 y/o kids, when they come to your stand to ask for a t-shirt and all you got is L/XL?
@ashens probably gonna tell them an inappropriate joke about penises as well are you not? Jesus christ.
@LaszeWins
Okay, you may have intended for it to be sarcastic, but in cold, emotionless typeface, it did look like you intended to insult him. I wouldn't fret about it, just open a new twitter account just to tell him who you are, that you didn't mean what you said in the way that he took it, and that you're sorry if it offended him. Even if he doesn't end up actually seeing the apology, just remember he saw a tweet he didn't like and simply responded to it. He has nothing againt you personally
Great Britain 2.0 was over 300 years ago. Great Britain Vista kinda sucks now, and it needs some serious patching.
H.P. Lovecraft was born in Rhode Island... which is so non-british its founder, Roger Williams, decided living inside a state entity which broke off from a larger one in a fit of independence wasn't enough-- so he did it again (from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) and thus Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was born. Ta da!
