Hi all, My Garmin nuvi has the latest up to date maps, last week took the new M74 extension to the M77, and sat nav went crazy trying to re-calculate route, and showing the car flying over fields, it turns out that maps can be as much as two years out of date in some cases, even with the so called up to date maps, Have found last years road map more up to date.

Hi stef and mandy, you will find that sat nav may not work around the Loch Lomond, can be a lot of sat nav blind spots. My old tom tom tried to take me across the Loch, I was on the west banks and wanted to go to Balmaha the east banks.

I got my Techna in May, you can change preferences based on road type,tolls etc !! But normally I drive the car and make the desicions and let the sat nav 'assist' !

All of my sat nav's have had strange quirks or routes 'trying' to take me via weird routes, but they are there as an assistant, not a dictator !

Pikey 1 I NEED SAT NAV!. My wife has severe motion sickness, cannot take her eyes off the road, and although you appear to be oppinionated without knowning the person posting the note, you must if you have even the smallest of brains, realise that if you are towing a long outfit, motorists would have killed you pulling in/stopping etc to read a map yourself as a driver - we all have crosses to bare, please accept that people out here are not you!

          You posted on a forum, without expressing any of your wife's problems, complaining about your sat nav and come back with this crap??

How did you cope before sat nav?  

And guess what? no no one has ever killed me pulling in/stopping to read map!!
