The Laguna’s £975 satellite navigation system is, like the audio controls previously moaned about, something of an oddball.
As soon as the next junction drops below a mile away, the nav switches to distances in feet, which isn’t particularly helpful as I’ve no idea how far 3300ft is when you’re travelling at 70mph. While every other system I’ve tried counts down in either metres or yards, for some reason the French car’s mode of choice is large numbers of feet. The last thing I need when on a road I don’t know, is to try and translate the distance to a junction.
Otherwise the system works well and is fairly intuitive, though I did have a problem when I had the postcode for a destination but wasn’t sure which town it is in. The Laguna won’t allow full postcode search or to put a road name in and search through the list of towns with that street, so I had to guess at five different towns before my countryside destination popped up.
