It can be tough though cos the old boys will think something's up if you get a bit evasive about where you live etc.
Definitely the best way, simply say satnavs always have trouble you'll meet them at 'blah blah' and so on.
Also if you do give them an address, park the car on a street but not outside your house, but well within view, don't give them a house number, then they don't know where the keys are. No harm for them to ring you when they are in the street if they are genuine.
