Press Release

Four in ten sat nav users have problems

15 February 2007

More than four in ten people who have used a car satellite navigation system have got lost or made a journey which took longer than it should have done, according to a which.co.uk survey.

38 per cent of survey respondents have used a sat nav system, but worryingly nearly half of them (43 per cent) have either got lost or made a journey which took longer than it should have done.

Around a quarter (26 per cent) of those who have got lost or had a longer journey said that as a consequence they use their sat nav system less, or not at all.

The results of Which?’s latest sat nav tests, including details of Which? Best Buys that have proven themselves in rigorous tests to be accurate and reliable, can be found at which.co.uk

Malcolm Coles, editor, which.co.uk, says:
“Sat nav systems are the latest must-have gadget, but our survey shows that they aren’t always reliable. To reduce the chance of getting lost, check the test results of the latest models at which.co.uk”
