Yes I know the Americans and Australians here will laugh, but for us in the UK that's a very long journey home!

An unexpected detour along Old Highway in Colwyn Bay, thanks to Apple Maps navigation. I was not displeased. #Autumn #Fall #Leafy #Detour #SatNav

It's funny to relate.

But it's terrifying to experience when you are toodling along the M25 at 60mph, it reads an NSL sign from somewhere, decides that you're doing 30mph over the speed limit, slams the brakes on hard, and the traffic behind almost runs into you.

The worrying thing is that this seems to be related to the well-known decade-old #FordKuga problem of the SatNav aerial failing. It failed when parked in a 30mph zone, which is why, I suspect, it thinks that NSL means 30mph. Because otherwise it is a bizarre default.

So (if this hypothesis is correct) from a computer programming view it's one of those nasty problems that one cannot replicate unless something else has failed in a particular way.

Every sign has a story behind it, and I suspect this one in Bowling, just to the west of Glasgow, might be more interesting than most.
