I do agree with you Carrutherstown in that a satnav gives you tunnel vision about your route and lacks all of the peripheral information which makes many a journey pleasurable but it also has its uses especially when feed with real time traffic information.
Our satnav gave us an interesting route from York to High Wycombe the other day almost totally excluding the M1 which was chock a block. It started in the A1 and then led us to lengthy tracts of the A46 to the M40. If never gave thought of that route and it was largely trouble free ...
