I have not really ever got lost with a sat nav! Could not be without one (or 2 or 3 or 4...lol)

Must admit I did around 8k miles through Europe without one back on 2001 ish

The first time I ever used a (borrowed) sat-nav, must be about 6 years ago, it took me to the centre of Bristol and then got itself stuck in some kind of loop and instructed me to keep going round a large roundabout ad infinitum. I try to avoid using one whenever possible, especially as they are a distraction at least as bad as being on the phone in my opinion. 5 minutes with the A-Z planning out a route fixes the route in your head and more often than not I don't even need to refer to the map once I'm en route. I guess driving a delivery van hones your direction-finding skills some!
