Wayfinding

I forget the route to places I haven’t been to in a while

It can be a bit alarming to find yourself getting lost on a route you thought you knew, but usually a little forethought and planning can overcome this. And now Satnavs are becoming so popular, there is a solution for most people.

Tips and Tricks

• Always keep a map in the car or your bag, which you can consult en route.
• Routinely check routes on maps in advance and if you need to, make a photocopy or brief route notes for reference. This will help in two ways. By thinking about the route in advance and preparing the route notes, you will have reminded yourself of the way. You will also have the notes for guidance when travelling.
• If necessary and possible, invest in a satnav. Satnavs can give directions to people driving, cycling or walking. Be sure to check that your attention is good enough to cope with a satnav whilst driving.
