Stroopwafel asked:


Is it the speed and late reponses? ie: turning left when you are already at the destination and parked… or does the voice remind you of your mother nagging?? what ticks you off about sat nav, and what would you like improved?

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

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.

Is it illegal to adjust your sat nav while driving in the UK? 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

What is the best/cheapest way to get myself a sat nav system ?

sat nav
tiggy asked:


I would like to get some sort of sat nav system to cover mainly England and occasionally Europe. What is the better system to go for ?. It must have a full 7 digit postcode search facility as well as industrial estates, possibly speed camera locations as well. Apparently Tom Tom and Road Angel Navigator are fairly good, does anyone have any experience of these or know of another good reliable system.

How do Sat nav systems determine the route to take?

Julian K asked:


I understand that there are 2 main players in the sat nav mapping market, Navteq and Tele atlas. Are they also responsible for determining which is the fastest route, shortest route etc. I have tried a number of sat navs and some routes are much more preferable to others. If I found out the drivers I could look for this when buying a new sat nav. Cheers
