How To Use a Sat Nav on Your Driving Test
Вставка

- Sat nav has been a part of the uk driving test for years now but some learner drivers aren't being taught how to use it on a driving lesson! It's not as straight forward as it may seem to navigate yourself around your driving test with a Sat nav.

I used a sat nav on my driving test, the examiner knew it was miss leading so he helped me out, i did no mock tests lol, but i passed first time only 3 minors
I failed my driving test last week due to the Satnav's voice and volume confusing me. I just kept getting confused with the screen and then made a mistake. Even the examiner said what a shame. You're a good driver. Now the hunt for a date....
Yesss! Finally the Satnav video!! I love how you guys make the videos we ask for ❤
Of course!! We got you 😉 anything else you need let us know!!
Thank you! I cant confidently use one eother, I think some instructors underestimate how much practise might be needed with one.
I’ve got my test very soon and these videos have been so helpful ! 😍☺️👍❤️
this was explained and demonstrated perfectly! 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Good message thanks
always useful with every video, hopefully if I have to use one it will be easy lole you demonstrate in the video.😊😊😊
Love video
Fab video, even after years of driving, using google maps can be a bit of a hassle. The key is look at the screen when safe of course and not go on the audio instructions always.
Helpful as always
Glad to help Alice!
you can actually do the same thing on google map to plan a route away and back to the same starting point. There is limitation though with using google map. Google map limits the number of mid-way stops you are allowed to specify in your route.
Very helpful. Show more. And show more left turn junction. How to do nicer. Cos I always turn left wider or nearly goes to hit
How many yards before I will signal left or right indicating
Thank you
This video deserve double likes

I want to see a video on how to follow a sat nav without voice commands (so following it by just looking at it).
I appreciate your love of google maps, but 'free' is a tricky way to describe google maps and waze. I'm considering getting a sat nav because I dont want my phone's data to be constantly wiped, and seeing as i'll want to go on long 3hr journeys, it's likely that i'd have to up my phone contract data usage just to support google maps, so the cost is in your phone contract needed to support google maps no? Could you use google maps on a £30p/m contract? Also, size wise, a sat nav's screen can be far bigger than my phone, i'd love an updated sat nav vs google maps video from yourself on this!
"Make it make sesne" 😅
As always informative though!
I didn't use satnav in my lessons. Luckily it didn't come up in the test. Passed.
Lucky! Congraaaats!!!
@Thawne 20% of candidates get to follow traffic signs instead of satnav.
I've got a test tomorrow and Sat Nav is my weakness
I'd be interested in learning more about the satnav, i've failed my driving test twice because of them and passed on the 3rd without. I'd need to learn using them (google maps or waze) if i'd need to travel for work alot more.
How did the satnav make you fail? All you have to do is listen to them & quickly glance at the map. And it’s not a fault to go the wrong way..?
@@trinityg8511 very misleading when it comes to roundabouts
@@anna.4970 Ah I didn’t know that was a thing- Usually they’d say ‘at the roundabout take the 3rd exit’ n you’d have to use lane markings and signs to figure the rest
Please could explain to me what mean Bay right .thanks
But if the examiner provides the probably DVLA Tom -Tom´s is in it have a network on?
They’re just standard tom tom 52s. Most instructors have one for you to practice on. They load on the ‘secret’ routes like we do too
Francis: Apple Maps or Google Maps for navigation?
Personally I prefer Google maps. I like the interface more. But if you have an Apple Watch the Apple Maps directions on your wrist is really cool. Laura prefers Apple Maps too
I use Waze :) it relies on other users and will point out hazards, police vans etc- I find it so much easier & quicker than my satnav and you can select different routes
Only downside to using apps is your battery dies and your phone gets really hot (especially if you want the fans on)
This is true and it drains your battery fast. If you have a car charger it’s not soo bad! I feel like people only use waze to avoid the police lol
Actually not true for google maps, you can set multiple locations to stop at until your reach your final destination and it will form a route with that instead of going for the fastest possible route.
Yeah that’s waypoints though not a specific set route. You’d need to set a waypoint for each road and that would take ages! And when you reach a waypoint you have to interact with the phone and press continue. It’s an awful satnav but it’s definitely the best solution to this lol
