Letter from Prague A journey without maps
I must admit I am somewhat in two minds about my girlfriend’s Christmas present to herself: a global positioning system device. It is not that I can find too much fault with the device itself, although on a recent trip to the site of a former Baťa factory in England it did tell us to steer straight ahead when there was only a brick wall in front. I learnt later that the system is only accurate to about 10 metres and gets a bit confused when it comes down to more detailed instructions.
