Newbie question, not even got to the test drive stage yet :smile:
I have read on the forums that map display is an issue where there is no 3G coverage. I'm out in the sticks in East Anglia so that may be an issue for me. I drive regular journeys with SatNav on for two reasons - my mind wanders and without it I may sail past a turning!! but more importantly so that if there is congestion I can make a speedy decision for an alternate route - I've often come upon queuing traffic a few hundred yards before an exit and having the destination already in the system makes it much quicker, I think, to review the map for alternatives and ask SatNav for its suggested route-around. How would that play out if there was no 3G coverage at that location? (my understanding is that turn-by-turn continues to work, but there is no map display)
I do carry a map, and quite capable of using it!, but when driving solo I have found SatNav a huge advantage for this job.
If I have Satnav set up and lose 3G en-route and THEN miss a turning does the turn-by-turn have enough info to sort me out?

I'm probably being thick, but I can't see how to edit that post, sorry.
I meant to add: are there other issues specific to the UK that anyone can please alert me to?
Thanks.

Hahaha ... now I know how "edit post" works :smile:
