    I failed my driving test last week due to the Satnav's voice and volume confusing me. I just kept getting confused with the screen and then made a mistake. Even the examiner said what a shame. You're a good driver. Now the hunt for a date....

    you can actually do the same thing on google map to plan a route away and back to the same starting point. There is limitation though with using google map. Google map limits the number of mid-way stops you are allowed to specify in your route.

    Fab video, even after years of driving, using google maps can be a bit of a hassle. The key is look at the screen when safe of course and not go on the audio instructions always.

    I appreciate your love of google maps, but 'free' is a tricky way to describe google maps and waze. I'm considering getting a sat nav because I dont want my phone's data to be constantly wiped, and seeing as i'll want to go on long 3hr journeys, it's likely that i'd have to up my phone contract data usage just to support google maps, so the cost is in your phone contract needed to support google maps no? Could you use google maps on a £30p/m contract? Also, size wise, a sat nav's screen can be far bigger than my phone, i'd love an updated sat nav vs google maps video from yourself on this!

    What's the best practice when using a satnav so that you don't get drawn into looking at it too much. Would it be to just follow the voice commands, give a glance and then once that instruction is done, just keep going until you hear the next command?

    • @DrivingSchoolTV
      @DrivingSchoolTV  Месяц назад

      @@gavp1336 I would suggest glancing at it regularly like you would recheck your mirrors. Especially if you’re coming to a junction, bend in the road or it’s been a while. It’s useful to know what’s coming up next. Even if it’s not a turn you’ll be updated with the shape of the road and other roads around you

      They’re just standard tom tom 52s. Most instructors have one for you to practice on. They load on the ‘secret’ routes like we do too

    I'd be interested in learning more about the satnav, i've failed my driving test twice because of them and passed on the 3rd without. I'd need to learn using them (google maps or waze) if i'd need to travel for work alot more.

      How did the satnav make you fail? All you have to do is listen to them & quickly glance at the map. And it’s not a fault to go the wrong way..?

    Francis: Apple Maps or Google Maps for navigation?

    • @fitnessfran
      @fitnessfran Год назад +1

      Personally I prefer Google maps. I like the interface more. But if you have an Apple Watch the Apple Maps directions on your wrist is really cool. Laura prefers Apple Maps too

    • @trinityg8511
      @trinityg8511 Год назад

      I use Waze :) it relies on other users and will point out hazards, police vans etc- I find it so much easier & quicker than my satnav and you can select different routes
      Only downside to using apps is your battery dies and your phone gets really hot (especially if you want the fans on)

    • @DrivingSchoolTV
      @DrivingSchoolTV  Год назад

      This is true and it drains your battery fast. If you have a car charger it’s not soo bad! I feel like people only use waze to avoid the police lol

  • @tom3294146
    @tom3294146 Год назад

    Actually not true for google maps, you can set multiple locations to stop at until your reach your final destination and it will form a route with that instead of going for the fastest possible route.

    • @DrivingSchoolTV
      @DrivingSchoolTV  Год назад +1

      Yeah that’s waypoints though not a specific set route. You’d need to set a waypoint for each road and that would take ages! And when you reach a waypoint you have to interact with the phone and press continue. It’s an awful satnav but it’s definitely the best solution to this lol
