Yet another one..... I wonder how blind people can be when driving at times.
The article doesn't mention the make of device so including a picture of a clearly identifiable product is rather unfair by the BBC - Mike |

That's over a year old. 
If the driver had been using a TT that had up-to-date software/maps, he/she would be required to select a country first. No confusion there.

Don't TTs have a route overview mode on which you can check where it's
going to take you.
 Perhaps it was a Garmin anyway  |
