That aint how you use the sat nav on the phone. You listen

****ing hell rodney you better tell everyone about that because I bet
there is
no one on the planet who knows thats how you are supposed to use sat
nav.

Damn! That's what I've been doing wrong all these years. When I'm

I just use these things to tell me where I am.

Makes a lot more sense to have it tell you how to
get from where you are to where you want to go.

I could get a signal.

Any decent system lets you download
the maps while in range of free wifi.

Though Nokia Maps did once tell me the route to some hotel in Santa
Monica. SWMBO actually tolerated another female voice in the car.
