Subject: RE: Tech: Performers and Sat Nav
Sat navs are okay. Only my wife tends to argue with it.

I say to her - it can't hear you - its a machine - theres no one inside the little box. you are wasting your breath, it doesn't care when you call it names.

I have the Garmin which I got for £145 from Halfords, but I've seen it for £99.

Its a big saving on getting those A to Z books of all the different cities. Most times its pretty good - although sometimes it sends you into blind alleys if you haven't got it mounted on your windscreen - which is the best way - cos then you can see the little map and check on the name of the street you should be turning into.

if you have it on the seat next to you - you just have the silly bitch voice.

You can download another voice if you connect it to your computer - but who lives THAT long!
