Hi John, I still use a map in conjunction with the sat nav. It saves some embarrasing situations, such as one way streets, & extremely narrow roads. etc. especially if you are in a strange area
 
My husband would rather not use Sat Nav when he's got
Sat Nag me.......

i have to agree there. mine tried (unsuccesfully)to turn me down a 175deg hairpin, single lane road in my 23ft kontiki. my first and only thought was 'who the f*** are you kidding':eek: . 4 miles further we found the other end of the 'road'.
