Woody decided to change the voice on our poor misguided Gabbi Garmin GPS. We no longer have a confused English woman travelling with us. Instead we jump in fright every time she speaks. Why? Well this one has a broad Aussie accent and it sounds like we’ve got a mate sitting in the back seat. I’m voting to bring back the Pommie sheila.

I think that voice would grate on me too.

Oh, quite. Sally SatNav has to be cool, calm, collected, and have been to an expensive school.

We keep saying se could do with one of those but I just know we’d end up arguing with the voice as well as each other!

They are extremely handy gadgets especially when knowing what time you’ll arrive at your destination. You can always get a laugh when you take a newly opened road & the GPS thinks you’re in a cow paddock.

We’ve always been put off because our long avenue has bollards across halfway to stop boy racers and whenever we try to give people directions they always say, oh it’s ok, we have a sat nav – and it always takes them to the wrong side of the bollards and then we have to go rescue them!

Oh that sounds like a sport ‘rescue the visitors’. Friends of ours live near a GPS blackspot and their visitors get told to drive through a neighbour’s back fence.

I love it. Your natty little GPS voice caught your attention immediately, if not sooner. We don’t have a GPS locator, we never get very far away from our little hut anymore. This vehicle we’re now driving had OnStar installed on it when we bought it, we don’t use it, but one night we were driving home late. I asked my wife to turn on the overhead light and she pushed the OnStar button instead, this woman’s voice started screaming in my ears, wanting to know what our trouble was. I just about ran off the road, trying to shut it off!

Ha the joy of modern technology. We get disappointed when she doesn’t speak to us now.
