Is it illegal to adjust your sat nav while driving? Has the law been passed?

starfield asked:


I always zoom in and zoom out of maps especially when approaching junctions, roundabout, etc on my sat nav. Will that make it illegal for me to do so?
The irony is that I am not adjusting my sat nav but making it easier to see

Why does my sat nav say I’m going slower than my speedometer?

Katie F asked:


My car’s speedometer says I’m going faster than my sat nav says I’m going.

Which one is likely to be the more accurate?
My petrol gauge is about a quarter of a tank out, so I’m not sure any of my car’s dials can be trusted!

How does Sat Nav continue to track your position underground?

Andy M Thompson asked:


We’ve got Sat Nav in our car and last night we were driving in a tunnel under a river and it was still able to tell us what turns to take. How does it do this?

Also, does anyone know how you get updates for Sat Nav systems? Our Sat Nav is the Audi installed one but the Audi dealer didn’t have a clue when we asked about updates….
Magician - you cheeky so so! Did it occur to you that I don’t live in the UK? Why do some people assume that eveyone on here is in the UK? There is a long tunnel in Cologne which goes under the river our Sat Nav advised us to Keep Left and Turn Slighty Right whist we navigated that very tunnel last night - so ner!
duh - meant to say Dusseldorf not Cologne - am tired this week from excesses at the weekend!

Will they ever invent a sat nav that works for girlies?

sat nav
VALERIE C asked:


I want one that tells you a few minutes before a junction will be coming up so i can get ready to move over or says which lane to chose when going round a roundabout. It doesn’t work for me when it waits until you are almost at the turning before saying ‘take the next turning on the left’! There must be other people like me who want to use the sat nav but don’t feel it is human enough yet.
