Nanny satnav

[88v8]

Garmin died.
£80 to repair or £160 to replace. Hate throwing things away but....

The possible new one, the Garmin Drive 61LMT-S
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Garmin-61LMT-S-Lifetime-U...
not only has the usual speed camera alerts, but apparently warns about 20mph school zones, and ..... dangerous bends.
Ye gods.

Now we have nanny satnav. What snowlflake designed that?

I suppose this is the shape of things to come, we can't be trusted to drive our own cars

DAK is it possible to turn this rubbish off, or do I need to read through a hundred of pages of user manual to find out?

Thanks, chaps, interesting but I don't really do phones. Not quite true, I have an original noughties Nokia, which I think looks 'smart' in its two-tone leather case.
I sent the pratnav for repair. Done in three days and on its way back to me.

So for the time being I'm spared the nannying of a new one.
But if this trend continues we'll have cars telling us how to drive, cookers telling us how to cook, and showers telling us how to wash our knadgers.
Progress, but in a bad direction.
