Or be updated when that route is closed/slower etc, etc.
Either way, people use what they like. There's very little in the way of materials that people need, so this constant back and forth of what's better or what people are 'living' for seems a little redundant. |

Imagine using a sat nav in the Formula 1 lol memorise the route get used to it and you wont need any help from a computer that talks at you.

Its time we all stopped being lazy drivers replying on sat navs to tell you where to go. Study a map before leaving on your journey or jot down the directions my Dad still does that the old skool way but mostly he knows the motorways and places like the back of his hand due to driving since 1982. Any road closure or a different lay out you just cope with it and use your initiative.

To be fair, it's pretty lazy to have a house too when a cave would do a perfectly good job. |

I've noticed myself that when I'm using sat nav I don't really learn the route, i'm just following directions. So I do make a point of driving 'sans-nat' if I have to do it even semi-regularly just so I actually learn where I'm going and am not dependent on the device. However for one off journey's it's just far superior way of navigating - I wouldn't call it laziness so much as progress.

And the art of learning a route seems to be lost these days by just following a sat nav, its good you mentally jot things down so that if your sat nav stops working you at least know what to do.

I keep hearing people say that they are obsessed with their mobiles and that they are so dependent on it they think their life would not be same without it. Well im not one those people who is dependent and i could live out without my mobile phone for a whole month
My son-in-law on the other hand could not go one hour without texting or phoning someone even when he is watching his beloved Man/city |

I think for the first few days it would be hard but once I'm used to it I would be okay.

What would you do if you're out, need to get to a new place and you don't know what bus to get or how to walk somewhere?
I dont know how all those old explorers got anywhere. Pure luck I suppose. |

Having just spent three weeks in Cuba, where it's nigh on impossible to get any internet and if you do it's so slow that you give up doing anything more than sending a whatsapp message, I found it wonderful to be without a phone that constantly pinged emails, Facebook notifications, eBay reminders, news feeds, etc., etc.,
Since returning I have stopped having my phone constantly on my person and it's quite liberating!! |
