Lots of us tend to look at sat-navs as modern-day saviours – especially the more geographically challenged among us.
In fact, many motorists have now got so used to the idea of these handy gadgets that they no longer keep a map in their car, as was once common.
But a breakdown organisation is warning that sat-navs could make motoring more difficult unless we position them correctly on our windscreens.
GEM Motoring Assist goes so far as to say that many of us are putting ourselves in danger by letting the devices obscure our vision.
Potentially deadly?
According to GEM, sat-navs can be dangerous.
OK, so your average big-screen sat-nav may only measure 10.48cm high by 17cm wide, but GEM says this is enough to drastically reduce visibility and potentially cause a crash.
That’s because it obscures a far bigger area on the road than inside your car, according to the motoring assistance firm.
But a lot depends on where you place your device and how far away you position yourself from it.
Biggest hazards
Badly positioned sat-navs are at their most dangerous while driving in the following places, says GEM:
Mid-screen madness
You put yourself most at risk if you place your gadget in the middle of your windscreen, says GEM. This will impede the majority of your view on the nearside, it points out.
Safest position
GEM has compiled the following top six tips to help you perfectly position your sat-nav:
What the expert says
David Williams, chief executive of GEM, says that drivers understandably view sat-navs as a great stress reliever.
But they also have the potential to create stress if poorly positioned devices put owners in “huge” danger by blocking their line of sight ahead.

I have been surfing on-line greater than three hours as of late, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the web shall be a lot more useful than ever before. “Oh, that way madness lies let me shun that.” by William Shakespeare.
