you joke, but....
I did a trip to near Aberdeen a few years back, the satnav primed to take us the shortest route pushed us left just after Dundee and took us cross-country directly to our destination - it was basically a rally route through forest, over hump-backed bridges, and tight winding country roads - all at 1.30am and in fog.
the satnav proved very useful doing exactly as you suggest as we made progress through the night in a subaru driven by my friend - sharp left 50, bridge ahead etc.
