I have always relied on a map to get me to somewhere I have never been to before. You know, a different town buried more than three or four turns off a main road.
With the advent of in car GPS systems this has led to more than one case of people not understanding the route to their destination. They know where they are starting from and where they will end up, but the actual route, well that they haven't a clue about. Call me old fashioned, but I like to know about the middle bits, just in case I need to 'divert' for some reason or other in an emergency.
We have all seen or heard the stories of someone who was following the in car GPS so carefully and exactly that they got into trouble, driving into streams, buildings and roadworks. Is it their fault - most assuredly. The box on the dashboard, hasn't a clue about the roadworks which just sprung up overnight and that burst watermain or even the accident causing the tailback.
So eyes on the road drivers and let your tomtom or garmin help you get to your destination, not lead you astray.
