    We have one that is currently talking Danish and seriously gets pissed off if you opt to go a different route, so much so that it doesn't shut up.

    Satnavs in general

    For example - heading on the A52 towards Nottingham, its a dual carriageway

    I delibaretly miss the turning for the M1 as I know that the A1 will be faster

    What does it tell me?

    "Make a U Turn"

    HOW ABOUT NO

    And for about 15 minutes it kept trying to get me back onto the M1 stupid thing

    I bought a Garmin sat nav just before a trip to France where we rented a car to go to Italy. Very handy, but as a warning to anybody considering the same - use it first at familiar surroundings... I had some problems especially in roundabouts always taking the wrong exit :angryfire

    Where I live there are plenty of fjords and despite regular updates the LCD screen often shows our car travelling on water.

    I think they are getting cheaper, like everything does from when they first come on to the market. Not sure about the best ones tho.

    A Tom Tom with Jose Mourinho's voice would be very pleasing :p

    It's really funny when you're a passenger when the sat-nav tells you to do that just as you get up to a sign which says no U turns.
