Why you rolling your eyes? Drunk or something? C'mon T i m , if you
have someone to do the navigating you (mostly) don't need a satnav.
Yes, a satnav would be useful when trying to to find some street in a
strange town at night. So we're thinking about getting one and have
been thinking about it for 10 years.

In our case, whoever is not driving is doing the navigating. And
whoever planned the trip has the responsibility to print off Google
Maps maps (which we keep and re-use for next time) and Street-Viewing
the destination area, too. Which can be very handy so that f'rinstance
I stay in the left lane just there and don't turn right over the edge
of Beachy Head.

Real time lane advisory with a satnav works a hell of a lot
better, essentially because you dont have to plan in advance.

And handles traffic congestion infinitely better than any
navigator can ever do.
