How should I prepare to use my new sat nav?
• Read your sat nav system’s quick start guide – most have one. • Sit in your car and consider the best position for the sat nav. You’ll need to read the sat nav at a glance then resume full concentration on the road. • Most sat nav systems include a support bracket, which attaches to the windscreen using a powerful sucker. • Position the sat nav as low down as possible, so it doesn’t obscure your view of the road or the car’s instruments. Make sure the sat nav’s cable reaches your power point without interfering with other controls. • Enter as much detail about your target destination as possible into the sat nav. The postcode is good, but if not, you’ll need the (correctly spelled) road name and number, town and maybe county. • Your sat nav may not find a very newly built address if the map is out of date. Consider whether there’s an older address nearby for your sat nav to target instead.
