Have you used an in car GPS?

My wife and I spent a night in the City a few weeks ago. We stayed at the Sydney Harbour Bed & Breakfast.

We had a great time and maybe a review later on. But I had just obtained a Navman and thought i would use it to get to there from our home at Glen Alpine. Now you may say that this trip was not difficult. Just M5 to City, take a city exit and make you way over to the Rocks. Well yes.......

On the M5 no problems, but loved the speed camera alert that was pretty accurate. It said I was near it in the M5 tunnel and I looked around and sure enough I could see the camera for the first time.

Next, I would normally take the Kings X exit and make my way across the City that way. The Navman told me to go further on the ED and exit around the Art Gallery. It then expertly directed me, with Karen telling me to left and right etc through Hunter Street, across George and eventually into the Rocks ending near the King George V Recreation Centre and the ubiqutous Australian Hotel.

The story was the same the next day. My wife had taken the train to the City and she heard all about the Navman at dinner that night. Mrs Technophobe was even impressed by the Navman on the way home although she was wondering what other voices were available.

I have been thinking of new voice that could save your wife from having to get huffy on the usual car trip. "Turn left 300 metres.....turn left 100 metres.......Oh [sigh].....turn around and turn right 100 metres....I told you we would be late !"
