Re: [IceHorses] Fw: Sat Nav error TRUE STORY
I never know whether to encourage her to write a book or do stand up. . It's a toss up. Absolutely! I'm thinking with her journalism background that a nationally syndicated newspaper column would be a nice place to start then with her readership nicely cemented, she could either write her first book, move on to standup or both.

I love it, but I still can't imagine someone blindly following the step-by-step directions for 1500 miles! >> Oh Kevin would...if it meant not having to ask me for directions ;) Ah, I get it now. An unmarried man, or a man traveling alone... Karen Thomas, NC

That depends on the GPS and system/software that you use, and settings within the device. My cell phone has a GPS service and it doesn't automatically show the map, just step by step directions. I love it, but I still can't imagine someone blindly following the step-by-step directions for 1500 miles! Karen Thomas, NC

As the sat nav shows a map, plus an estimate of the time the journey will take, it would take someone pretty dim to follow signs to Gib Point instead of Gib! We've used ours to get us from West Wales to the World Championships in Holland (including a stop off at a b&b in Calais) and it was fantastic, even showing us a petrol station off the motorway in the depths of Belgium. It's like anything else, they are great providing you use a modicum of common sense with them.

[IceHorses] Fw: Sat Nav error TRUE STORY
All you ladies with sat nav beware.. Did you see on the news . A Syrian driver was taking his big truck down the narrow lane at Gibraltar Point in Lincolnshire. He asked a man who was birdwatching for directions. Soon it became apparent that his sat nav had directed him to Gibraltar Point instead of Gibraltar. Oops! 1,500 miles out of his way! That's why I won't buy one. The man who was interviewed said it was not the first time that kind of error was made. A voluntary worker from the continent sent post asking for a lift from Malaga airport. She obviously thought she was going to work in Gibraltar. Sue
