I’ve been to some jobs recently and used longitude and latitude in the sat nav as an address .Latitude and longitude?
What are you a driver or a bloody explorer
Check out Dan’s frosty beard mate
I just had this vision of him getting out his ‘charts’ in the cab, and ‘plotting a course’ to Hilton Park Services

Well Dan originally comes from the very last place God made, and he now lives in the last but one, so every trip into the civilized world needs careful pre-planning by him!

Latitude and longitude will get you direct to the true destination better than any postcode (providing the lat long you are given or use is correct to begin with). I use that method every time as where we go don’t have post codes.
I’m not surprised the op gets lost. The Flat Earth Society are thriving in Hull, all the members are warned not to go under the Humber Bridge or they’ll fall off the edge of the world 
My Garmin satnav has been bob on. You still have to use a bit of grey matter. But once you to where you need to be…save it to your favourites. [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND TIGHTLY-CLOSED EYES]
Many years ago before Satnavs, I navigated the other half to Margate when in fact we should have been heading to Ramsgate. Not getting lost exactly, just read the map sloppily oops

Margate/Ramsgate? I have known folk who would have problems finding their own FRONT GATE without assistance from a sat nav, you only have to watch a few tv quiz shows to realise that the publics knowledge of British geography is poor nowadays. Grief, one girl in her twenties a week or two ago was convinced that Germany was part of the British Isles and many have no idea where the different counties are located but will always find their way about with the sat-nav…until that fails! 
We had a parcel delivered recently from the West Midlands area and I casually asked the van driver which route he had taken, he couldn’t tell me as he didn’t need to know because he just followed the screen instructions, scary!
Pete.
Think yourself lucky you get a postcode, all I get is a town, village or random name location like St Neots then I have to find the place in St Neots I’m supposed to be at, no road name, no postcode no nothing lol
Working for Richard Long I followed my sat nav to a JCB dealer in Torun Poland and it took me through the town centre, many deviations off route due to low bridges (over gauge tracked 360 on the back and high boom) 2 hrs later I arrive and after unloading asked the guy there for directions back towards Poznan … down to the end of the road, turn right at traffic lights and it will put you on to the NEW town byepass, 15 minutes later I was back at the same junction I came off on the way in to go get to the tip ! ■■■■■■ sat navs, ■■■■ on 'em 
Google is your friend here. If you’re just given a company name and a postcode you can usually get the full details somewhere on the internet. Like Yell.com for instance or the company website.

16 miles into a job with only hand written instructions. Only about 8 junctions mind you. One was signposted. …
during the duration of a recent sitting on the throne,i decided to while away those idle moments by reading one of my misses womens yakk mags,delving through the important waffle of babies,cellulite,whos fat and whos not…who looks like a sack of dung in their new dress,and the agony aunt.(its always the mans fault)…i came across this belter…wifie from kent decides on a whim to hop across to calais for a beer run as shes heard the supermarkets are right outside the port…comes off the boat,onto motorway,cant work off how to exit,every time she exits,she cant workout how to return to calais…ends up back on the same motorway heading south all the time,( this is a true story)…ends up somewhere near madrid almost,runs out of fuel and money,calls home,gets her man to fly to madrid airport,she could see it,but 6 attempts to drive into it and failed,so gave up and her man got a taxi from the airport to find here and drive back to calais…if only she had a satnav…■■
