Of course the more I used it, the more I found it was not absolutely infallible, but it comes very close. Certainly I would have more faith in it combined with some basic good sense, than someone sat alongside me with a map and an AtoZ. I can relax and get on with concentrating with driving and let the satnav get me where I'm going. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk

A horse is much more reliable than such modern rubbish is the internal combustion engine! |
