sat nav with avoid motorway setting?

I'd rather be on a motorway than a single track road

I'd rather like to see a feature in Sat Navs which will avoid single track roads.

On my holidays in Cornwall/Devon/Wales, I've often been pushed into single track roads by my sat nav.

I use a map so it's my decision what roads I use.

Map does not show if a road is single track either!

How do you use one whilst you're driving?

10 gig memory? or stop at every other junction to check???

An OS map does.

Memorise the main details, occasionally stop to look, sometimes take a sneaky look as driving.

Well I have never ended up down a single track road using my Road Atlas, unlike many Sat Nav users.;)

I've never gone down a single track road while following my satnav unless I wanted to.

You are free to ignore directions it gives you, or tell it "avoid the next 1/4 mile" and then it will choose a different road.

But, not all Sat Nav users are as savvy as you, many would drive in the ocean if it told them to.:D
