I decided to follow my first satnav for a journey that I already knew the best route for, just to see why it was trying to send me a different way.
I was driving down the hill from Biggin Hill towards Westerham so that I could eventually get on to the M25 clockwise. Half way down the Hill, it wanted me to turn left, so I did; it took down some nice country roads, then tracks, past a farm to a hedge with a gap in it. Guess what was the other side of the gap - the M25. That was an interesting junction.
Once you start using satnavs, you very soon realise the limitations, and act accordingly by double checking if something seems not quite right.
Despite the weaknesses I wouldn't be without one.
