    Forget sat navs & get yourself a good Road Atlas ( About £2.99 ) & plan your journey the night before . Even the best sat navs are only as good as the installed softwear.

    You will end up driving down one way streets , over cliffs , end up in a dead end cul-de -sac or stalling in a swollen river crossing .

    The prolonged use of sat navs also causes you to lose the brains natural instinct of ” Sense of direction” . You then believe the sat is god when it tells you ” Next right ” & you end up in an ally in a dubious part of town .

    As a sat nave user you will also spend 25% of your time with your eyes OFF the road losing a total sense of spatial awareness & wondering where the Eff you are , while Basil Fawlty or Joe Paqsquale instucts you to ” turn left . turn left , turn left . “

    I know you mentioned Canada but with all due respect , if you get lost for more than 10 mins in UK , you need to pack up this driving nonsense ..By now not only does your wife think you are a Knob , she knows you are a knob , as she emerges from the local corner shop with directional Instructions !!!

    Yea nav aids in planes no prob !! In a car ?? get a grip ….even sir Frances Drake did with out .

    In 2006 I joined the American Jeep Patriot Forum …I no longer have my Jeep , but still post & chat with some people who enjoy a bit of English banter.

    By my reckoning now in 2013 there are probably about only 15% of the old boys left on that site that joined in 2006 . Bearing in mind that Americans tend to keep their vehicles for a lot longer than we do here in UK ..The rest is made up of members who have joined in the years 2007—–2012 …
