SatNav - is it the operator?

In the last week we have had 2 service engineers come to the house. Each has said that their TomTom said that house numbers on our road only went up to 134. Now our house is 135, it has been here since 1913 and our Garmin Nuvi 660T finds it with no trouble.

Our son-in-law (an HGV driver) has absolutely no sympathy with lorry drivers who run into low bridges, taking the view that it is the drivers' responisbility to know about low bridges and weight limits. There are dedicated satnavs for hauliers, but they are quite expensive, but if a driver doesn't know their way around perhaps that is what they should have. I haven't shown him the thread about overtaking lorries, although I am sure that he would have an opinion! That is the first exclamation mark I have used in any post to any newsgroup.
