Britons are losing touch with their cultural 遺産 because they rely on satnavs and internet 地図／計画するs, which 欠如（する） the rich 詳細（に述べる） of 従来の 地図／計画するs.

Mary Spence, 大統領，／社長 of the British Cartographic Society, said electronic 地図／計画するs are basic and too often 不確かの.

Worcester Cathedral

Historical buildings such as Worcester Cathedral are not 含むd on many satnavs and internet 地図／計画するs

Thousands of churches, 古代の woodlands, stately homes and eccentric 目印s are 消えるing from public consciousness as a result.

She said: '法人組織の／企業の cartographers are 破壊するing thousands of years of history - not to について言及する Britain's remarkable 地理学 - at a 一打／打撃 by not 含むing these things on 地図／計画するs which millions of us use every day.

'We're in real danger of losing what makes 地図／計画するs so unique - giving us a feel for a place even if we've never been there.'

Mrs Spence used a Google 地図／計画する of central Worcester as an example, which does not show the cathedral.

Satnavs

Satnavs such as the TomTom get drivers from A to B. But do drivers 行方不明になる out on cultural 遺産 as a result?

She told the 王室の Geographical Society 年次の 会議／協議会 in London that drivers are also losing basic 地図／計画する-reading 技術s because of the new 科学（工学）技術.

A growing number of us are discarding atlases and paper 地図／計画するs in favour of 衛星 航海 systems that we hope will guide us effortlessly from A to B.

Sales of street atlases are also 落ちるing as we ますます use electronic 地図／計画するs on 動きやすい phones and 手渡す-held computers.

'There is a danger children are losing 技術s because adults are 存在 exposed to mapping that is a second-率 製品,' said Mrs Spence.

'People are 脅すd of 地図／計画するs, but they should not be. Anyone who has the 知能 to get on the internet and work out where they are going surely has the ability to look at a 地図／計画する and see what the symbols mean.'

Mrs Spence said 事業／計画（する）s such as Open Street 地図／計画する, in which thousands of Britons have used their 地元の knowledge to 地図／計画する pubs, 目印s and even 地位，任命する boxes online, are the first step in the fightback against '法人組織の／企業の blankwash'.
