bogie:

Manicminer:
This is an old thread :shock:
When this thread was active the first time I used a road atlas, now I use a satnav and the road atlas.
mobi:
i don't carry a map or a sat-nav and i'm a lorry driver, never been lost yet.
discowoman:
I love the people on the motorways that have the 'man' driving , and the 'little woman' sat in the pasenger seat - who moves her finger along everytime they pas a junction!!!!!
EXCUSE ME - but whats wrong with doing 5 minutes research before you leave home - Get on at Junction Y - off at junction Y - they do have alrger metal thingies at the side of the road - !!!
* sorry bad day* :lol:

I always have my road atlas with me but the sat nav has enabled me to get rid of all my A - Zs - working in transport I had a few !! :lol:
Sat-nav is the best thing since sliced bread for me. As long as you use it sensibly & learn how to use the features (ie: diverting round a blocked road) & check in the road atlas if you have any doubt about the address you're inputting.
If you don't like the voice then change it for one you do like - there are hundreds about - or turn it down & just follow the arrow on the screen. I have the volume turned up just enough for me to hear the camera warnings.
Unreliable ? I've had sat-navs for donkeys years & can count the little blips on 2 fingers :lol:
They're small enough to pop in your pocket along with your mobile phone if you have to leave the car - I really struggle to be negative about my sat-nav & it sure hasn't made me brainless because I use one.
So yes - I do carry a road atlas with me :lol: ;) :smiley:
