We are going on holiday in a few weeks time, and we will be driving to Burgundy (Nuits St Georges 4 nights), Alsace as a base to hop over the Rhine and explore the Black Forest (Marckolsheim 7 nights), and finally Champagne region (Bouzy - aptly named, 3 nights). Everything is booked, the car serviced, European cover in place, and I have compiled my little holiday folder (as I always try to do for these adventures), complete with all paperwork including my AA routeplanner maps - which I love.
However there is a problem. My erstwhile co-driver, travel companion and direction checker has stated that she wants me to get a satnav, because she is fed up having to give me "directions every five seconds", despite the fact that I have used these roads before, and she rarely has to do anything for hundreds of miles, usually all the directing is done in the last few miles before we reach our destiny.
I also like maps and directions as it keeps the old grey matter functioning, and to be fair I don't let my better half near maps anymore, because the last time she used one she turned it upside down and we did get a bit lost - for about five minutes.
So, does anyone have any ideas for a decent, cheap satnav, which is easy to set up and is pretty foolproof to use.
