Sat-nav
Click On's reporter Moira Hickey visits the village of Wedmore in Somerset, which has suffered an influx of HGVs which are, the residents believe, being misdirected there by sat-nav systems. Somerset County Council have surveyed their counterparts across Britain, and found this to be a widespread problem - so what should be done?听 Part of the problem is that information about height and weight restrictions is not showing up on sat-nav systems, which are mainly designed for consumer rather than commercial use. 听Simon is joined in the studio by Alan Rasmussen from TeleAtlas, who provide听digital mapping听for sat-nav companies, and听Tom Satterthwaite, Road Network Data Manager for Ordnance Survey to discuss the changes which need to be made to help villages such as Wedmore.
