Aha!!  I see the problem.....

An hour before you got there (check MID/satnav times) there was a road to drive down.  Some bu&&er built a house!!.....    ;D

At least it did not lock up on you, like my Carin does sometimes - usually just when you particularly want it to help you.

It's really simple... that sat nav is fitted to the wrong end of the car, needs to be on the rear window....  ;D ;D ;D ;D

To date, I've not bothered with Satnav.

i'm told my new phone will include satnav software, i might try it out on a route I already know just to be sure!

If you look at the SatNav display, you will see the blue arrow marking the location of where the SatNav thought I was. But to the left of it, you can see a dead-end road, and this is where I actually was. So it simply positioned me one street away....
