An interesting survey in the UK by skobbler reveals that millions of motorists have ended up shouting and swearing at their navigation system, otherwise known as Sat Nav Rage – losing their temper with their dashboard gadget. According to the survey results, the reasons for getting ticked off at the Nav devices result from unclear directions, annoying voice-overs, out of date and expensive maps, and taking them on unnecessary round-about journeys are most likely to test a driver’s patience – once person surveyed even boasted that they were so ticked off they threw their device out their car window!
