BarbaraJ Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 TomTom here and its brill but hubby only wants the patronising womans voice lol! We used to have them built into the lease cars we had when hubby stopped the lease cars and got a new motorbike and a 2 door Astra for an adult family of 5 long story, i said we had to have a Satnav. I don't mind map reading but he has no patience and swears at me all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 the other day I thought she was going to blow a fuse as i did a u-turn to go back and look at something but she remained calm in her constant repeating of "turn around" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I'm the same Pam - I can't drive and read the map as well, so it's down to memorising the route and stopping again when I've got to the last bit Rosie is getting fairly good at reading maps now though - it started with me asking her to read the road numbers because I didn't have my specs on.,.. and she's not bad now.

peanut12 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 our Navman system is great - without it my wife would never leave the house and our daughter deryn would not get to go to any kids parties. Even took us right to the door of Omlet when we travelled up to collect our Eglu and first 2 girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillicat Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I pestered my company for one as I am constantly on the road. I would much prefer Multimap, asking directions and sorting it out for myself. If you can't read maps and are totally uselsess with directions then any sat nav will do.............BUT........if you have a good sense of direction, a sat nav is not for you! I have an Indago, which detects speed cameras (defo plus) and the monthly upgrade is £4.95 per month. Good luck with your choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 There are some scary voices, so like most on here we chose Jane We have discovered that it has the names,addresses and phone numbers of local doctors etc on the walk to help feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 This was an appropriate thread to read We have a map reader - me, and a driver who ignores the map reader I usually give instructions ie turn next left, next left, and he'll go straight on or right ( being dyslexic doesn't help him ) and when I ask why, he just did it because it looked an OK way to go We drove through Dublin City yesterday it's a good job it was 7.30 in the morning and not rush hour, all because he ignored the direction to turn left thinking we needed to go further into Dublin first. It's his birthday in May perhaps he might like instructions from John Cleese Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
