Sat navs? Where's your sense of adventure?!!!

[Justin Miles]

I've found some of the best places I know by getting a little lost on hte way somewhere... pubs just off the beaten track, shops that nobody ever mentions, and sometimes whole towns and villages that I never even knew were in England!

I admit that sat navs are great when you need to get from point a to point b with a minimum of fuss for work etc, but come on guys (and girls!), where's your sense of adventure?

Let's start a list of places that we've found accidently that we would love to return to...

Mine's a little village called Ugborough in Devon just off the A38. It's not a big place, but the people are great and I love the pubs around the village square!

Any other suggestions?

Advertising works... when you go about it in the right way.

On the subject of advertising... wherre are these banners on my posts coming from?

Strange subject for a satnav forum. What next? A thread on Gassing Station titled "sell your car - it's healthier to walk"?

you still get lost with sat navs.
you ask any one.

its a driving aid not a command.
if you fancy a twisty road then you can take it.
it will soon re route you ..

Actually I find using the sat nav on routes that you know, often takes you through interesting places and route options that you hadnt thought about..

My old man bought a sat nav Tom Tom and uses it to go to places that he's been a thousand time... "just getting used to it, you understand"!!!... WTF???

Went to the Cotswolds at Easter. Was really nice that you could drive anywhere through wonderful villages. Knowing with a touch of a button it would route me straight back to the hotel. As I have zero sence of direction, this is the only way I will do this sort of thing. Never realised what I was missing out on. Had lunch in some geat little hamlets.
