Wot’s a map? - a paper sat-nav, of course!
Steve.
ha ametures the lot of you
try navigating using the sun the moon stars and dead reckoning then you can call your self a knight of the road
Anybody use Google maps/smart phone? Seems the obvious choice
(legitimate question)
And how many people have a floating compass type (not so legit question) I’ve always wanted one

Well said that man… if you need a dam sat nav to find your way around you need to get another job. I am a stranger in this land relatively speaking, I think I have used one on 4 occasions and each time I was only about a mile from the destination, it was just to guide me along some little back streets. There are plenty of options, almost everyone has a lap top or smart phone with maps available.

Like on an 17th century ship?
Got one on the dash mate. Navigate by the stars.
Sat-nav my arse.
As said in my Sat Nav post. I find it difficult to rest a map on the steering wheel, find my location, smoke a tab, have a drink and drive at same time. Sat Nav is just there for convenience, to guide me into actual location and ETA.
Whats a MAP?
A map is something that drivers use to navigate from A to B. Maps come in 2 different forms. Paper form and digital form. The digital form has many advantages that some luddites refuse to acknowledge due to being stuck in the past or their inherent lack of technological knowhow. Paper maps also have their advantages. Anyone with half a brain would take advantage of BOTH.
HTH.

^^^^^^ What he said (minus the tab)
We should be using the maximum amount of focus on the road ahead, having to look at a map and plan as you drive is a pain, with a satnav you can just glance at it now and again, it sits there in my peripheral vision and guides me. I often ignore it when I know better than it but it drastically reduces stress and increases the amount of focus I can use on the road and other road users around me.
Mine also indicates my speed & the speed limit, which as I find the KPH on the dash dial a real pain to read, or to have to squint at the barely readable mph, plus arrival time etc which helps me plan breaks etc.
Would you use a handsaw over a power tool just because it’s the traditional tool of choice? (Personally I’ll use a hand drill any day over a lekky one just because there’s something great about a hand drill…but then I am odd)

I’ve got one thanks.Still use the sat nav more though, as I don’t have to pull over and try to read tiny writing to see where I supposed to go, only to find out the map is out of date and the road it shows is no longer there, or is completely different to what it shows.
Times change, technology moves on… Get over it.
