Using Satellite Navigations

Satellite Navigation systems offer an aid to journey planning, used safely in conjunction with road markings and signs, and in accordance to the Highway Code.

Problems may arise from the use of such systems due to inaccurate or out-of-date mapping software, where postcodes cover a wide geographical area, or when HGV drivers use software intended for cars.

Ordnance Survey has recently reviewed their base map and added information on utilities such as electrical substations, waterways and wind turbines. This information will be available as part of an update package for your system. Any inaccuracies identified in the mapping software can be reported to the mapping suppliers directly:

• NavTeq
• TeleAtlas
