But for Britain’s growing number of elderly drivers, there could soon be a simple solution to their problems

Instead of advising the driver to turn in 500 yards, the Granny-Nav tells them to turn at a given location, such as a pub.

And, for those who have grown nervous of negotiating oncoming traffic, it will create a route that includes only left turns.

Or the petrol station one - makes you turn into a Gull?
(Do you have Gull in the east? If not, you won't know this ad I guess).

I can just see the confusion when a building that they are looking out for is demolished or the owners have decided to change the colour scheme or something like that...  :rolleyes:

A big thumbs down from this pensioner....  :fum:

Whenever I'm asked to direct drivers I rearly use road names or their classification number I tend to use landmarks such as pubs, school, shops etc.
