SAT NAV TRIVIA

Yahoo Message Number: 25979
Good morning group,

With all the discussion concerning Satellite navigation systems I thought you might be interested in the developments taking place in the UK.
Apparently about 4 million vehicles are capable of receiving navigation help via satellite and many of the programs highlight traffic stoppages and delays.
The developing problem is that when the system identifies a problem ahead and suggests an alternative route around the bottleneck increasing numbers of drivers are following the new direction.
When many drivers receive the same alternate routes within a short time it is causing problems on the alternative routes which in many cases are not designed or capable of handling the sudden impact of additional traffic!
The Brits also reported that there are an increasing number of accidents attributed to inattention when drivers are distracted by the navigation system.
The above does not directly relate to our Country Coach group but I thought it would be a welcome relief from all the recent posts concerning overheating and service woes.

Have a great day. David
