It wasn't just to save space. I should've been a bit clearer on that
I watched a video that Neevesy at MCN put up about motorcycle touring and he advised to forget the satnav. He seemed to suggest that they just got in the way and you just end up slavishly following the nav's directions rather than feeling like you're exploring. And that they frequently cause arguments because they contradict what you can see on signposts.
I'd just be touring in the UK and in Europe.
The video in question.......
