Updated my tomtom last night with all the latest maps and some new voices. I quite liked the Ozzy Osborne voice, slurring his words so i chose that one.
Picked up at 6.30am this morning, got talking to the Lady about the sat-nav on the way to the station, she was saying she might get one herself so i switched it on and let it guide us to the Train Station. Ozzy was telling us where to turn etc in his unmistakable voice and the beeps were going off warning of speed cameras, all was going well and she was impressed with it, until we came to a roundabout and Ozzy shouted " IN 100 YARDS TURN LEFT AT THE F**KING ROUNDABOUT"!

Dont thik Ozzy will be acompanying me anymore!!

Sat nav's, I hate them.
Out of interest, did it take you to the station the way you would normally go?.

No, but it doesnt know i can use bus lanes, but other than that yes.
Navigator 5.21 gives you the choice of fastest, quickest etc each time.

I really couldnt do without mine now, but it makes you lazy in the fact if i'm on a long road and i want no 347 and its 2am it'll stop me outside without getting my torch out etc.
