If you are, then you won’t have one of those patronising voices telling you that “you have arrived at your destination” when-you’re-stuck-down-a-farm-track Satnav devices, you’ll have one of THESE :
Oh my god yep, im a real driver 
Well I have the lincolnshire version, only another 30 or 40 odd to go

Ooh, I’m missing one then. Last time I looked at the availability list, there wasn’t one for Lincs because 195 pages would be fields and the other 5 would be towns 
.
yep ive got most but they are stuffed in the garage.

well its better than the barren wastelands of yorkie land
Bloody hell, I’m glad I’m not a real driver. To be a real driver is it compulsory to have to share your living space with a dirty great plastic crate?
Is arranging all those things in in the crate in such an ■■■■ retentive, not to mention very gay way, also compulsory or is that just you?

Well if you weren’t so fat then you wouldn’t need the space would you?

Arranged that way for illustration purposes only. I normally have them arranged in alphabetical order by county . I least I don’t have to put up with an annoying woman gibbering rubbish at me telling me I’ve arrived at my destination when I’m stuck down a farm track after following her instructions 100% from the start 
.
Yepp i must be a real lorry driver, because ive got at least one of them, and an AA truckers atlas!

Yep, I knew it. A sever case of being ■■■■ retentive

Well it has never happened to me, so far, and I have to say the wee woman that lives in mine talks more sense in one journey than I have ever heard you spout.
now now you two otherwise we will be seeing rob going into the pink corner and neil into the yellow.
im nearly a real drver then
i have a laptop with autoroute on it , you still have to work out your own route but you dont have to lug a bloody great crate around with you

PLEASE STOP … I can’t stop laughing here
Dunno about the rest of you but I enjoy a weekly dose of dewsbury drivel
I have to say whilst those Philips maps are the best around (especialy in the sitcks) they often show ‘farm tracks’ as roads, sometimes they’re so overgrown there’s no longer a track!
So to be fair no less likely to get stuck-down-a-farm-track with those. I mean just because your sat nav ‘says’ turn down a farm track it doesnt mean you have to
Got to say i agree with you Rob but i own NO maps or a hand held map i tend to pull in to the first “service” (is it now a contradiction calling them a service staion should they be called greengrocers who sell petrol") and ask them for directions, when im stuck.

Just curious … why don’t you let Autoroute work out the route and you just check it ?, when I use Autoroute at home it seems to work out the routes well.
Good call rob. Yep I`ve got cupboards full of those
Rob K:
You’re missing more than one Rob…Lincs has been out for over a year. The only areas not covered by Phillips are Mid Wales and that bit out beyond Swansea (although I haven’t checked their site for at least 6 months so they may have done it by now)
Sat Nav’s ok, but I like to get an overview of where the drops are before I go so maps are a must for me

hardly any point having one then

I think that’s what it boils down to Jules. I like my “overviews” too 
.
you forgot the huge arm muscles that you get from carrying said maps from one truck to another when on agency work.
i have sat nav but have also started to collect maps as it gives me a better overall view
