I love my SatNav

Having spent a life getting lost, wasted hours studying maps, missed more road signs and turnings than I've had hot dinners, and generally, now my memory is sadly not what it once was [in the sixties I had dozens of telephone numbers just remembered by my fingers, now I have a struggle remembering my own] each journey by car over a few miles is stressful; was that where I should have turned? what road is this? how on Earth did I end up here?

But no longer. My new SatNav, a Sony NAV-U, sits there with the road winding out in front on its screen in a reassuring fat orange line, rotating the view as I travel, removing the orange road behind me. I feel attached to my destination as never before. Without a SatNav you are always getting further from home. With one you know you will arrive where you want to. Anadded bonus is that it saves time and money. Previously, it's taken around four hours to travel to the middle of England, to Milton Keynes, the route plotted out on a map beforehand, and repeated on subsequent journeys. I think I even had a print out from an AA Routemaster program on the PC which gave much the same route.

This time, it took two and a half hours, was stress free and easy. With seven satellites guiding my way, even I couldn't get lost, and next trip, now I'm confident with it, I shall try it out, go off the recommended route, try to get lost, try to fool the machine. It's the human way...
