Generation LOST! Almost a third of Gen Z admit they need to use sat nav for every journey – as navigational skills plummet among youngsters
But a new survey has revealed how even the shortest drive will have Gen Z turning to Google Maps. Every single time I need to go somewhere, I've got to have my sat nav,' @cuzinsuzyofficial1 said on TikTok. As part of the survey, Carmoola also asked respondents what they would do if their sat nav lost signal. The results revealed that 57 per cent of drivers aged 55–64 said they would rely on road signs and landmarks. While the findings might sound trivial, research has shown that using a sat nav actually 'switches off' parts of the brain.
