Does anyone else have this problem as well...?
One of the main reasons I don't drive.

No. As long as I stay in my own country I am fine.

Generally I do not get lost even when driving cross country. I learned map reading very early in life. Today most people use GPS navigation systems to guide them about. But for me the GPS systems are an audio distraction that drives me up a wall.

I can't do the satnav things. I need a quiet car to concentrate. Having a satnav talk to me while driving does not work.
