Jason Bourne Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I normally use something called a 'map'. It's a bit old-fashioned, but it's never put me wrong yet. When I were a lad, we'd navigate using t' stars. I ended up on t' moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 i never get lost using my sat nav, as it has a tracker thing on it which picks up which roads are dead ends/closed etc. But i do have problems when it comes to the directions it picks, i travel to manchester/greater manchester quite regually and it takes me a different route every single time ! so if anyone knows how i can programme it to take me across the A57/snake pass ide love a bit of help!

Jan39 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have a Garmin Street Pilot which my family bought me as a pressie, one of the best things I have ever had, I wouldn't be without it, It always get's me to where I'm going, and back home again.

Livewirex Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have TomTom 1's. The only place where I have had problems is Southern Ireland. They work great in the rest of Europe (well in France, Holland and Germany) are the places I have been to and used it. I would say it's like most things computing if you put rubbish in you get rubbish out so watch all the spellings and post codes and you will be ok.

Milly658 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 My beau and I use the sat nav sometimes, but one time it took us off the main road, around the countryside, down lanes barely wide enough to get the car through, down steep winding hills and then... back onto the main road we'd just left!

fred_notdead Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 They all have their faults due to the lag of the satellite not updating the maps frequently enough. I heard that the new roads around town will take 2 years before they're in the sat' system. Use the sat-nav with common sense and don't rely on everything it tells you!
