Problem with sat nav

Sat Nav is a fantastic invention it allows the user to concentrate on driving and not on navigating. This makes it safer for them to drive and safer for all road users. There is one major drawback of sat nav and that is the fact that it is confined to a small screen that the user has to check, This is braking the most important part of driving which is never take you eye off the road.

Sat nav is a tiny representation of the real world.


There are also some situations where a sat nav is not the best option over a sign and some common seance. Lorry drivers have had some bad press for following just sat navs and ending up stuck and many people believe that if you gave a driver a sat nav that directed them over a cliff they would probably follow. This is mainly because the systems are developed or designed for a individual system, if you could set what car you where in and its detentions then you would not have a problem because the system would know if you could go down a road or not.


Don't follow your sat nav


The other main isue is that if you are following a sat nav you are quite often end up in the wrong lain at a roundabout or junction and end up causing an inconvenienced to other drivers. This is often coursed by a sat nav saying go straight on at the roundabout so you go in the left lain to then discover you can only go straight or left which means your in the incorrect lain.
