A roundabout is a thing that sits in the middle of a junction. A junction is where a number of roads meet. In the UK, we drive on the left, so you come to the junction and turn left and hence circle the round about in a clockwise direction. You then take the turn you want from this kind of orbital route you are doing around the round about. As to what a round about is, well it is a raised patch of ground, maybe grassed or just concrete. Ideally you could drive over it but it is usually designed to discourage this. = Liam -----Original Message----- From: gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of donald.goosens Sent: 13 December 2004 19:31 To: gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gps-talkusers] What?
