I plan my routes as if I was cycling them: minor roads where available, straight across main roads if possible, left on, right off if not.
I use a satnav loaded with the 1:50000 Ordnance Survey maps, have the 1: 25000 on my phone as back up for details, if needed.
Has worked well, so far - ask those who let me do their navigation. :-)
You need a "yellow road" driving style, which, once you relax into it, is rewarding.
Slow(ish), expecting a tractor around every bend, stopping to look at interesting stuff.
Not fretting about time taken, or twisty turny roads.
I also offer to look at routes for you, if you like.
Cheers
Simon
