My VW satnav has only recently been in to get a new antenna fitted.
It currently thinks we are in Welsh Wales when in fact we are actually in the Ardeche outside Vallon.
Go figure!

Just stumbled on this thread after a couple of weeks touring France. (camp site reviews left)

I used to always use ViaMichelin for planning a route and working out tolls (caravan option) but have now given up on it.

Is there an alternative where I can put in a route (eg Dieppe --> Bezier) and it will tell me my toll price for different route options.

Thank you

I use maps & Apple map on my phone. Never used a sat nav in my life. Made me smile once when we arrived at a hotel in Holland. Was asked if I found it ok. I had looked on my phone map & located it no probs. Was told that hotel was wrongly indicated on sat navs & most people got lost trying to find it.

Because Ian I just use the map. I don’t use the actual sat nav bit that talks to you. Tbf I was a truck driver all my working life so I do tend to have a map of UK & some of mainland Europe in my head.

Surely a Sat Nav is for navigating from point A to B ...
A downloaded map can't be called a satnav, can it?

No matter as the data for the map still comes from a satellite so it is still a satnav app.
