Title: Anyone want a free sat nav
Post by: waspy on 05 April 2008, 19:11:48
It's on the road just outside Belper on the A517 to Ashbourne.
Bloody thing has p"£$ed me off once too many times, so it went out the window.
It was a Mio, please avoid this make at all costs  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
"Please turn right" It was a farmer's field.
"Take the A???" That road doesn't go through Notts.
The list was endless at to the stupid things it said  :-? :-? :-?

Do you think it shouted-out after you: "Warning: end of tether in 50 yards!"  ;D

Honestly Deb's, it was crap.
I'm sure it made up stuff as it went along.
When i was on my way to Mark's, it was telling me to go down a road that isn't there.
When i went to first have a look at my Mig, it was saying turn into a farmer's field, but there wasn't even a gate way  ;D I had to stop & ask for directions in the end & then ring the bloke that was selling the car.
Just a few of the stupid things it said to do, of which there was many  >:( >:(

       The Boy :- Caravans.
               Me :- Satnaffs. ;D

I was thinking it sounded more like the conveyor belt on the rather generation game.
Just short of the cuddly toy and Brucie the chin shouting "Good game, good game."
