Usually try to 'Street View' it before I set off but always end up with Sat Nav.

i'd say both....

I prefer not to listen to them drone on while I am doing the 'easy' parts of the drive, but as it gets near the end having the satnav is a godsend for the resolution of street/road names when you invariably get lost....

I also tend to know routes that are longer but are actually quicker it seems than what the Sat Nav would suggest, and they are not good at giving you those options...

Sat Nav.

Till the M6 motorway was closed and the sat nav wanted to get back to the M6, when we tried the other routes.

Always carry a road map in the car, just in case.

Satnav everytime especially when driving abroad. I do look on Google map but can't remember the last time I looked up a paper map.
