Summary Women are more likely to follow directions given by their satellite navigation systems than men.

A survey has found that 83 percent of male drivers regularly go against their sat-navs, confirming the old stereotype that men hate asking for directions. At least 3,000 motorists participated in the survey.Despite a study in which UK drivers branded sat-navs as untrustworthy and inaccurate, less than three-quarters of women disobey the devices.Over one third of drivers said their navigation system had led them between one and five miles away from their destinations, while more than half said directions provided by global positioning systems had triggered an argument with passengers.
