In complete agreement....
Bought one myself (cheap, mate of mine hacked it and stuck TomTom software on it but that's another story)used it a few times. Each time I arrived somewhere I would think "Hmm wouldn't have gone that way, far too long"

Still use maps every day driving an average of 100 miles a day. By time you can programme a sat-nag and waited for it to find a GPS signal and calculate the route I'll have found the address on a map and be off.

Sat-nag was probably invented by the same idiot who invented the garden strimmer.... don't get me started, shears anytime... neater finsh, don't scatter grass everywhere or shoot stones into the centre of your eyeball... and yes it happened to me once and I was blind for a week!
