James May issues his 6-Point SatNav Elimination Plan.
"I used to champion satnav, but I've come to realise that it's turning people into morons. Satnav is nothing more than a navigational aid, but I now find myself working with people who treat it as an autopilot, swerve mindlessly on roundabouts and then look hurt when they end up in a supermarket car park.
"The problem with satnav, and especially for someone like me, for whom Britain is conceptually upside down and who has no innate sense of direction, is that it doesn't teach you anything. Following a satnav is like looking at a map down a bog-roll tube, and gives no sense of where Upper Chodford is in relation to the rest of the world."
