If you follow the route shown on the map, f example, t s possble that you could drve the wrong way down a one-way street, that a street cannot be drven on that the road s of questonable qualty. When usng route gudance on a unverfed road n a partally dgtzed area, you must therefe be sure to observe all relevant traffc regulatons and the course of the road.
