Why are they called Sat Nav ? Is it because we can't spell saterlite navigaishun? That idea can't be any worse than the route my new state of the art device wanted to take me to the pub tonight. I followed its instructions, just out of curiosity, even though I knew a better way. Sure enough it took me down some narrow street with parked cars on one side and a narrow strip of road on the other. Mmm, you need to take your brain with you as well as your sat nav I say. I shall be listening to it with greater scepticism from now on. I am writing an edit a couple of days later. The sat nav is a strange beast that seeks to lure the unwary into places from which they might not return. I have noticed that it will try and send me along little roads no bigger than rabbit tracks when only 50 yds further there is a major A road going to the same place. Could it be that I have bought the wrong model and that my new aquisition is actually programmed for horse riders and not cars?
