So, in the interests if marital harmony, we finally bought a sat nav so there'd be someone else to blame when we got lost.
Blimey, I can see why they have a woman's voice, they're always going on at you, do this, do that, go back and do it properly.
Still, it's nice this one comes with a mute button.....

Ffs, you know sat nav woman is the third person in our marriage at the moment.
And very welcome she is too!!!
Saved our bacon many times this holiday already, despite her bossy 'Turn around when possible'. I imagine her eyes rolling at the same time.

Why do they tell you it's the left (or right) turning in x distance? I don't know left and right properly enough and I only know far things are away in terms of how long it takes me to get there.
Mine sits in the glove compartment (that has never seen a pair of gloves) most of the time.

"Everyone should come with a mute button (but yeah, mostly women).
I was about to say that the mods have a mute button for me, but then I spotted Jezebel, so I'm keeping schtum

"Select the Irish female voice - makes it a joy to listen to  "
We thought it would be nice to select the accent for the country we were in, only to discover they actually speak in the language.
Sexy, but very confusing... |

I have exactly the same problem and thats why it shouts at me. The new one is much more polite though. |

you could have naughty natalie on your sat nav
Natalie was downloaded from TomTom HOME website to be used on the must-have gadgets that give drivers directions.
She makes obscene remarks such as the promise of a sex act as a driver negotiates a roundabout.
What she promises once you have "reached your destination" is too disgusting to publish.

Me neither, mrs ddc has to translate it into 'your side' or 'my side' while I hold up my left hand and try to make the shape of an 'L'.
There have also been a few terse comments regarding "Keep in the right lane", does she mean the correct lane, or the right-hand lane? |

We use Mr Hand all the time. It's called Mr Hand even though it's usually my sister with the map. The other terms that work are, This way, and the ever popular, That way.

If I'd been born left-handed, and wrote with my left hand, I'm not sure I'd have ever made it out of our street! |

A memory of me driving through northern France some 20 years ago has just popped up. I went away with two male friends (not like that, it was when I was celibate). One always sat in the front passenger seat and the other sat in the back and gave directions using the map.
He quickly worked out left and right just confused things so he would direct me by saying, Towards (name of friend in passenger seat) or, Away from name. It worked for a whole week of driving around France.

After TomTom map updates were more expensive than a brand new windows smartphone with free maps for life, I ditched TomTom.
I find the male voice to be more comforting and he never seems bothered when I ignore him and do my own thing. And then get more lost. Are men just used to being taken for granted, and ignored, my satnav guy? He deserves a medal. |
