Was stuck on the m6 earlier and I noticed somthing, when cars used to get stuck in trafic and if the passenger was a woman, she nearly always had a road atlas(upside down!) on her knee looking for a quicker route!
Now technology has caught up the have the sat nav on their knee!
Why would you do that. I can only guess that the wife relays what the sat nav says to the husband!
I once drove up to North Yorkshire for an event with friends who felt that even though I’m driving, they needed satnav to get there. I found it absolutely remarkable that after being on the road for better part of a decade, they didn’t trust my ability to navigate my relatively local area. They also felt I didn’t have the skill to be able to use a satnav, and as such did exactly the same as in the OP, holding it in their lap so they could navigate me.

It always amuses me when you see the woman driving and the bloke is in the passenger seat holding the Tomtom, like he doesn’t trust her so he relays the info of where to go

I’d have dropped the ■■■■■■■ at the side of the road with their sat nav and drove off.
Very similar happend to me today.
She had the map on her knee with Newcastle and area on the page.
We were in Glasgow. 
She then looked at me for about1 minute when I looked down at her again and said,
Have I got two bloody heads or what? Then she said, how can you see from up there.
Wtf
ive often wondered about those drivers passangers who hold there sat navs for them .was thinking must of been a cheap job lot with no window mounts. 
i was hoping for a discussion on ■■■■ and legs when i saw the thread title

cant say i blame him. i wouldnt trust a woman either
I see that a lot too, the passenger with a map on their knee, looking nervous and anxious.
And on the flip side of that, went to Newquay a few years ago, the two lorry drivers, me and a mate, were sat in the back of the car chatting, the two in the front decided not to listen to the satnav when it said carry straight on, and went off down the m40. It was only when we actually looked up and saw a sign for Oxford we said “er, we are on the wrong road”, “are we” came the response, “we thought the satnav was wrong so we went on the M40 instead”
Not so bad as the Iranian trucker who ended up in the north of England when he should have been in Gibraltar, he entered the similar sounding street in his sat nav, crossed the channel, and was seen confused in a bird sanctuary, the locals put him right and told him of his error.
■■■■■■■ hell wouldnt trust my missus with the sunday dinner never mind a ■■■■■■■ sat nav.

Wasn’t that the Romanian car transporter who ended up on Gibraltar Road in Skegness rather than Gibraltar.
