By and large that's called SWMBO navigating while I drive. Or vice

We've been considering a SatNav (or iphone + satnav software) for 10
years. We're still considering it. The only time it'll beat what we
actually do is if we need to find a specific spot in a strange town
(i.e. somewhere we'd not planned to go ahead of time) and whatever maps
we have are insufficient. But that's rare enough that we've never got
around to getting one. OS maps usually do the business anyway.
