Default Good tip

Obvious but I hadn't thought of it; don't put a location in there called "Home" or anything like htat. If someone does pinch the satnav they know exactly where to go if you've done something dosy like left the house keys in a coat pocket in the car or anything like that.

Good tip Jo.

As it happens my Satnav doesn't recognise were we live. It's puts us in one of the neighbouring roads!!!

Hmmmm, I wonder..................

If I was the tea leaf, I'd be looking for the the address and the car.

Better to put the Home address a few streets away.

Changed mine to the nearest petrol station.

Good Idea. I don't have "Home" as a number in my mobile phone for a similar reason
