Hi,
I think this has been discussed here before but I didn't have much reason to
take it in then, and I can't remember what the conclusion was. But I'm
having trouble understanding the instructions Sendero GPS gives in a vehicle
route when it comes to roundabouts. It seems to say take the exit leading
northwest or whatever - giving a compass direction, and saying the name of
the road. But in my experience both from people's written/verbal
instructions and from other (mainstream so to speak) GPS systems, the number
of the exit is usually given. Like "take the second exit from the
roundabout".
Is there any way I can tell from the instructions currently given, what
number the exit will be? Or must I rely on looking for the name of the
road? (If I'm in a car with a sighted driver I mean). Because finding road
names doesn't always seem possible/easy, whether because the signage is
rubbish or people don't use their eyes I don't know - but it doesn't always
work whatever the reason.
So I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips for understanding the
roundabout instructions...
Catherine
