"DOZENS of dozy drivers have been stranded after following satellite
navigation directions - into a RIVER."
Ignoring the 'not suitable for motor vehicles' sign is typical of this
sort of muppet - it's not the SatNav operating the car's controls!
"Sat nav supplier TomTom said: "We could re-route drivers."
lol - yeah, in 2023 by the time they buy updated map data from a decent
supplier.....
Indeed - I use sat nav on my PDA when I have to go to a city centre, but I
*always* verify the route first (and ignore until I get to the outskirts of
said city if required) and then still follow signs.
I also have the voice prompts muted - I prefer to look at the map. Sat Nav
is fine, but it is simply another tool. If you have no concept of where one
town is in relation to another, or no concept the compass, then you are a
liability!
