The only thing you can do if yours allows it is to set it to main roads rather than local routes.  We have prymenav on one of ours and we can do this on it.  That way it should pick A  and B roads and not unclassifieds.

You'd be better off towing with a car!

If you can not read a map with site directions should not be towing, sat nav are making every body lazy

Can't agree with Dan, as I can read a map but the sat nav makes travelling so much more relaxed.  We tend to check the route against the map to ensure the roads are okay, then once we set off we can relax. Of course where the sat nav really comes into it's own is if you have to detour and that can be when the biggest problems can occur.

I'm told there are younger drivers who can't read maps!

Surely not Jeepster? lol.

I can read a map and luckily with very little effort find my way to most places in the UK having spent thousands of miles sat in a recovery truck with an ex.

But I do find the sat nav useful on occasions, finding clients in remote places for instance.

There are also wives who can't read maps

I find the one I use invaluable. It tells me the lane I should be in in plenty of time, so no last minute lane changes and a lot safer.

By the way mines call FFiona, whats yours called.  You will notice she has 2 Fs because of the way she says please procede 'for four' miles.

wives ace you want to try mother's navigating especially ones that have no sense of direction and cant read maps. Good job I can read a map and there is things called layby's

note to scottish mob, dont drop me in the brownstuff..thanks
