I've only ever used satnav once and all it did was give crappy directions which took you through places you instinctively knew you should be avoiding!

Does TomTom (or any other satnav for that matter) actually anticipate slow moving traffic and re-route you around it. As I've said elsewhere on the forum, we had a crappy journey back from Venice (and getting there wasn't too clever either) - but had a wry smile at the number of vehicles in a similar predicament who had satnav on the dash!

Also - the last two years we've had virtually hold up free trips to Perpignan (via the Millau Viaduct)

and Frejus (via Mont Blanc)

So I'd like to say how much I appreciate the French toll roads. When sitting in the queues on the crumbling German autobans (most of which do have speed limits these days!) I longed for being able to switch on the cruise control and see the miles fly by, passing through central France.
