Now I may be being VERY old fashioned here but there are these old manuscripts that are surprisingly still readily available called MAPS!.
Not expensive and can be carried even in modern vehicles to supplement the obligatory satnav.

Give them a try!!!! tongue.gif

Yes they are! They are ideal when there are diversions. tongue.gif

Ah, so it was all the drivers fault.

Correct!! rolleyes.gif

Perhaps one can perch it on their knees when driving.

No, that would be silly and dangerous. Perhaps just pull over and check if you need to?

Just make sure you have an up-to-date one. tongue.gif

Good idea to make sure they are not too out of date. They are not expensive. Satnavs go out of date too!

The big sign saying 'Newbury' on the side of the road is often a good clue. I know you don't do signs well but for most people it's enough.
