Ok I give in….I'll buy a Sat Nav. Which one?

Not sure why using the phone as a satnav is such an issue, I honestly don’t

So when you’re in a you’ve never been in before, coming up to a big roundabout and your mate calls you. Which lane should you be in? Which exit do you take? Maybe you’re on the motorway and your mum calls. Miss that junction? Don’t worry, theres another in 10 miles. A phone is a pain in the arse as a sat nav. I have one and when I see a decent deal on a Tom Tom standalone with Eastern and Western Europe maps I will buy it.

I put copilot on my phone, it came pretty highly recommended. No need for data connection in use, it does hammer the battery though. Just as good as the standalone tomtom I’ve used in the past, though slightly fiddlier. And does have a slightly annoying habit of saying things like “stay left” when it means “leave the road you’re on, on the sliproad”. Only an issue if you can’t see the screen mind

Ok then, when the Sat Nav gets nicked I’ll try one of the phone apps 🙂

A phone is a pain in the arse as a sat nav.

Complete bobbins.

I do 8 – 10 locations a day, and roughly 80k business miles a year.

All navigated using a smartphone satnav app. Which also receives around 20 calls a day on average while driving.

It’s such a “pain in the arse” the unused standalone satnav was removed from its home in glovebox after 6 months and dropped into the office desk drawer and I’ve not seen it since.
