Why doesn’t every private hire/taxi driver carry a Sat Nav device?

barryboys asked:


I know that nowadays many taxis do have satellite navigation, but I had a hackney carriage a couple of weeks ago who did not know the place I was going to in the town! I couldn’t help either as I was a visitor, so the driver was stopping every so often to ask passers-by for directions-not what you need in a rush!

Is there any reason (other than cost, that would be recouped in the long run in time petrol from fewer incorrect routes taken) why licensing authorities shouldn’t insist on sat nav for every taxi/private hire driver?

louise asked:


I am travelling to France next week from the UK and have been reading that Radar Detection equipment is illegal in France. I may be having a dumb moment, but is a Sat Nav with GPS speed camera detection the same as Radar Detection? I don’t want to break any French laws.

Thanks in advance for any answers given.

sat nav

i was towing my caravan home and the sat nav in its great wisdom took me through the penrith hills at 1903ft. not a good idea at all.
So is there any sat navs out there that can avoid steep hills etc.or is it better to plan with a normal map and use the sat nav as a back up.

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

sat nav
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!
