Do I have to draw a map for you?

London (Reuters) - As many as 11 million British motorists are unable to read a basic road map, according to a survey released Monday.

Sixteen percent of British drivers have become so heavily reliant on satellite navigation systems that they have given up keeping a map in their car.

The survey -- based on a poll of 1,000 UK drivers -- estimated Britons' poor map-reading skills resulted in 36 billion wasted miles being driven each year.
