    gps is useless in town,especially when it tells you to turn right on a dual carriage with a central barrier and no turn offs.

    Mine gets traffic jam information (from radio stations) and displays them on the map.

    It calculates an alternative route automatically if it detects a traffic jam coming up, and says in a very home counties feminine accent “Your route is being recalculated due to current traffic messages”.

    I switched it to an Italian voice for a bit; it sounds much sexier but I couldn’t understand what she was on about.

    well , gps systems are not morons ,they are manufactured for the primary purpose of providing automatic directions for motorists with difficulties finding way,,but there are some hi tech gps system that let you know if a road is one way or not it depends on how much you looking to spend on the system

    You can use it to throw at the construction workers as you go by them.

    GPS is for people who can’t drive.

    Get an A-Z, an ordnance survey map and some decent spatial awareness abilities.

    Bonjour

    If you meet a road block/serious traffic jam, it will route (if you tell it by touch command) you around the jam easily, or you can just drive down a side road, thats if you don’t have a coach or HGV and the voice and visual directions will eventually select a way back onto your original route,,, but that’s not so safe for HGV and Coach drivers,, indeed for the HGV and coach driver you need to select fast route or limited speed to generally avoid small roads,,, now be aware that on arrival of a mile or so from your destination,,, it might like to send you down a quite small road,,, if it tries to do this then just ignore it and drive straight on, it will eventually choose a larger road which you are happy with,,,, you could easily drive around the destination area in a circle using your common sense and it would keep trying to guide you inwards to your destination,,, you would allow yourself to be so guided if you agreed the road looked ok.

    good luck
