Having travelled abroad and been in the navigators seat on every occasion, I've found little problem matching names on road signs to those on a map and if in doubt ask a native, point at the map and shout in english at them. They understand.

I've yet to make this wrong turn.

No, you've never been to Korea. It's a different world to somewhere as simple and straightforward as the UK with it's characteristic streets and well signed areas. Outside of the city areas Korea is a serious minefield. It all looks the same and the streets are basically named by postal code alone, it's difficult. You can't really memorise a totally new place. I love taking the car out for a spin to random places, but without navigation you could very easily get lost for good.

And let's not forget the cameras that want to catch you speeding everywhere, navigation likely saves you a fortune in speeding fines just because you don't know where the cameras are.

But yeah, that van driver is a total idiot. How can you get stuck on a track like that?

I wouldnt go to a country that eats cats & dogs and pretty much anything that breathes..

Like I say, I've travelled round a reasonable amount and with a touch of common sense and a map I've managed not to direct anyone down a dirt track. I also make the effort to learn some of the language. I do fine.

Btw Miles, would you come round and educate the fellas I live with how to use the toilet?

Because people are relying on technology and not using their brains. I was travelling with a couple. We were pulling off a motorway service station car park...and sat navs can take a moment to catch up when doing sharp turns...now rather than him reading the signs he did a full 380o turn because the satnav told him to. He called the machine stupid No sir. The big EXIT sign should have been your first clue.
