Odd I cant find anything in DennisN last posted link relating to Satnavs,Riverbeds or the posted subject apart from the fact that driving at 75-85 mph, the original posted subject would not have been any use whatsoever. _________________ Moto G5s Plus, Sygic 17.4.8

The relevance was that the driver is suing the people he killed - claiming it was their fault he killed them. Ergo, the riverbed is responsible for drivers driving into it. Sort of Blue Sky thinking. Or The Big Society. Or something. Or irrelevant. Whatever.
PS back in 1966, I drove a minibus down a streambed in Cyprus. It was dry and looked exactly like all the other unsurfaced roads in Cyprus - the local goatherds used to drive their flocks down it in the dry season, so they had widened it to road size. But I didn't have a satnav. _________________ Dennis

Trying to keep it on topic.... I think AliOnHols has it summed up best.
If this unit cannot automatically adjust it's advice for varying road conditions such as fog, snow, ice, rain or even just darkness, then it becomes more dangerous than nothing at all.
There are BOUND to be plenty of idiots who would come to rely on it and would bleat "but it told me it was OK" after ploughing into the back of somebody in bad conditions. _________________ "Settling in nicely" ;-)

Of course, it knows all about these hazards then? Why is most everyone knocking this idea?

If you can't count too 2 for the 2 second gap under ideal road conditions or 4 seconds if it's raining and 10x for snow and ice then what are you doing driving?
If the police did their work in the UK and started looking for idiots that have no brake lights, some one with there phone in their hand texting or that best one yet that pri?? In the lorry on his phone passing a cop car.
