If I want to get to a restaurant recommended by someone when we are on a caravan site I want to be able to just enter something like "The Anchor Inn, Tinturn" but that doesn't seem an option.
I'm sure it's all a matter of practice, but I find it more time consuming than using maps (my passenger actually uses the maps).
Another example - suppose I want to travel long distance avoiding motorways except around bid towns / cities - that doesn't seem to be a programmable option. We often want that in Europe.
Any guidance / advice would be appreciated.
Maybe I'm just too old fashioned and hooked on maps.

Most of what you talk of it is there and a lot more .. , You should try and get used to the voice recognition to make things easier , all you have to say " Navigation go to " BS4 4DF " did you get a printed navigation manual ? if you study that for an hour it will give you an idea of what benefits the system has . There is a built in owners manual in the sensus , but best reading that in the house in the chair rather than outside with the ignition on worrying about the battery .
Voice recognition will carry out a great deal of the tasks you do when driving daily . Such as " I am too hot" and it will turn the temperature down a few degrees . likewise turn the heated seats on or off , warmer or cooler..
Yes the Anchor Inn is a nice place :-) that may well work too . Have a browse through the navigation menus for settings you can change ..
The best part of the navigation system is listening to the directions with a quick glance at the smaller screen in between the two gauges in the instrument panel ..
