Merc is now one of them. Currently I have to tick off my Garmin 250T. Sat nav becomes sat nag.
"The new systems are being developed by TomTom and Navteq, a mapping company owned by Nokia, the phone company which also produces sat nav systems. Early versions will be sold in shops, but carmakers such as BMW and Audi are cooperating in developing the systems and are expected to incorporate them in the dashboards of some new cars.
In addition to instructions on when to slow down or change gear for the best fuel economy, motorists will also be warned when they are driving erratically and will even be told at the end of the journey if they have caused undue stress to parts of the car.
Last year a woman wrecked her £96,000 Mercedes SL500 trying to drive across a swollen ford through the River Sence in Sheepy Magna, Leicestershire, after her sat nav told her it was a passable route."
