My sat nav has been used many many times and usually is very accurate. However last week I used it to take me somewhere relatively local, only about four miles away. The route was known to me but the actual location on the road of the shop was unknown so I put the location into the sat nav and started the journey. Within a mile, rather than following the route I new I should take, the sat nav directed me onto the motorway. Obviously I didn’t follow but a quick look at the screen showed the 4 mile journey had been changed to a 9 mile journey via the motorway.
I wonder how many times this glitch has happened and taken others many miles out of there way. So in future I will be ensuring I have at least a rudimentary idea of how I will get from A to B

We returned from a 300 mile journey yesterday and the sat nav could not pick us up. It had us in a field in Devon when we were 200 miles north, it went on for a few hours. This has never happened before. Me being the cynical conspiracy theorist I am thought the government had been messing with the GPS system.

I never blindly follow the sat nav, and always try to get a rough idea of the route on google maps before I set off. I’ve been sent on far too many pointless detours over the years by them.

I don’t follow the Sat Nav for the route but I do like the info it gives on a long journey such as eta and miles countdown.
