In order for anyone to help they need to know where abouts you are. Most phones have the option to share your location and this is the most valuable bit of kit you could have when getting lost or breaking down. A map can sometimes show the most direct route to your checkpoints and destination and be good to adjust your route but the caveat here is someone other than Dave needs to be in charge of map reading. If you haven’t read a map since Scouts and that was something hand drawn illustrating how to get to the shops then don’t test your intelligence just go out and buy one. You don’t require a Sat-Nav and some teams don’t bother (show offs) as they rely solely on map reading. If the two show the same then guess what? you’ve entered them correctly and are ready to go!!īy taking a couple of minutes before leaving to do this you will save that inevitable question later in the afternoon when Dave starts raising the game by asking repeatedly “are we there yet” Once you have the coordinates entered (normally by asking another team how to work your own Sat Nav) it’s also worth double checking these with the address we’ve also given you. Our advice is simple, enter the coordinates….if you can’t figure out how to enter them its probably best you ask Dave to return the Sat Nav to his Nan and start walking. Coordinates can come in varying formats and each Sat-Nav is different so if you don’t know how to change your settings you’d best start walking with Dave. Take your time and if Dave says “it’s near enough” it’s best to ignore him and probably for the rest of the trip if you want to see your family again. Unlike telephone numbers if you get a digit wrong on the coordinates you won’t just get a wrong number you will most likely get a new passport stamp as you enter some other country. One of the biggest frustrations and argument creator in a Scumrun car is “whether Dave entered the coordinates correctly”
