We have the opposite effect in my area, a straight road 5 to 6 miles long with no bends whatsover and as good as most A class roads and well used but not classified is not navigable by either TomTom or sygic, It is shown just as a hatched line but will navigate ypu along it once you are on it but will absoutely refuse to navigate it as a route despit saving you a minimum 5 mile extra on a navigable route.

Guivre46 in that lane, the sat nav would have needed a cold chisel and lump hammer for the stone walls on the bend! |
Reading that I have to admire your nerve, I'd have been panicking. But reversing back would have been more difficult than going on..

If I'd got stuck, I'd have taken out my artificial teeth, hidden two satnavs and screen mounts and pretended to be a confused old person. No way would I have let it be known I frequent this site!!

Sure. If I didn't, they'd easily mistake me for somebody intelligent (either that or a whitevanman).

Hope that wasn't you I saw on TV the other night DennisN, showing a WVM jumping out and attacking a cyclist he'd just run into (recorded on the cyclist's helmet camera)??

Sadly beyond me now - I couldn't see where to plant my feet these days, never mind find the wind to take a swing at anybody.
