Sat nav: love it or loath it?

There was a time when cab drivers actually knew their way around without that annoying little voice telling them which turnings to take. But love them or loath them, satellite navigation systems are here to stay. What do you think of them?

    I have used a sat nav all over Europe in our motorhome and would not be withuot it, it takes a bit more than common sense to drive through Madrid on a weekday morning and be in the correct lane at all times, great piece of kit,used properly

    Why does using your sat nav make you an idiot? It is a fantastic piece of kit, especially these days when road signs and systems are so overly complicated. They're also useful in telling you where speed cameras are hidden, sorry I mean placed. The emergency services use them and swear by them so why shouldn't we??
