I bet your right about that, in the T&C's I'd imagine Tom Tom spin some line about "we are only an aid to navigation, road signs and conditions change periodically so driver discretion is always recommended".
Like you say bopdude I'll bet there is a magic line saying something similar to get them off the hook.
Like yourself I too spend a lot of time in my car and sat nav has been a god-send when driving in an unfamiliar town/city, the only problem I've found is that after using it for a couple of years now you tend to over rely on it, it becomes very easy to just follow it even when some thing in the back of your mind is telling you it isn't correct.
In other words although I wouldn't be without it, its certainly made me a lazier driver.
