I had a bit of a journey to do yesterday. I had a 100 odd mile journey from Hampshire to Somerset (UK) to attend a funeral.
The Mazda 3 with the latest map update and software was called into action to get me to:
- the church
- the cemetery
- the reception
Firstly, the whole usability experience on operating the sat Nav is poor, IMO. But that's not the point of this post. For the church and the reception, I had a full address including postcode. For the cemetery I only had a road name.
Church - FAIL - Sat Nav directs me to the wrong part of town 2 miles away to some random road that didn't even have the same name
Cemetery - FAIL - ask the sat Nav to direct me to the nearest cemetery and it thinks the nearest one is 23 miles away. When I'm actually half a mile away and I can see the word cemetery on the map!
Reception - FAIL - again the sat Nav directs me to the wrong part of town 2+ miles away to some random road.
I had to resort to using my phone to find my way there. It's as simple as telling it where you want to go and it asks if you want directions you say yes and it tells you were to drive. Simple.
Next time I won't buy a car with built in sat Nav.
