Rant number 176
Day two of Cornish adventures. We are currently heading along on our way to Looe for some Sunday lunch.
Not being familiar with the geography of the area, we are following my step fathers Sat-Nav, which is valiantly trying to get us there in the best way possible.
The issue is though, that Sat-Navs are run using logic and algorithms, not common sense - and there-in there are flaws.
Now, many of Cornwalls roads are tiny, 1 lane jobs which most people avoid.
A Sat-Nav doesn't see it like that though, it's looking for the quickest route based on maximum speed limits on the road and general distance.
That you could never do 60 on these roads and that they are not a pleasure to drive is not in the algorithm. It really is a bit of a pain!
Rant over.
