“And we will all give our addresses as N56.45.13 W02.12.6?”

Yes, exactly, although that would put you off the coast of Scotland in the North Sea south of Aberdeen. The potential for misdirection is wonderful.

Sue – You have to buy friends? You Americans are weird!

Natalie – Still no sigh of it. Heh!

5h4mr0(k – No fucking way! It’s the other way around. She had a conscience about all the crap she was buying on-line so she talked me into it.

If you’re getting a SatNav – does that mean herself is going to get the Prada shoes?

Grandad…its a GARMIN of course it will find the way to your gaf, perhaps the Irish mail got it a bit confused, but she will eventually take charge and find her own way…

Oh, I just never go anywhere new.

I’m 38 and I’ve lived in Los Angeles my whole life, if I haven’t been there it means I can’t buy couture, friends or illicit drugs. Therefore it’s a location not worth visiting.

No sat nav for me.

JD – A SatNav with a D4 accent? I’d never drive again. ["drive sythe to the rindabyte"!!]

Hiya Lottie and welcome. I always know where I’m going, and I always know exactly how to get there – but then I discover they have moved the roads around and that’s why I get lost!

LOL – I got mine a few weeks for precisely the same reasons as you. I ten proceeded to have that exact same conversation with little Miss Snooty GPS.

I have no sense of direction. The GPS does like to take the …shall we say “scenic” route. But it has managed to get me where I am going even if I am 4 hours late. It eases my mind when going somewhere new by myself.

Keith Law did a spoof sat nav ad a few years back. It’d give you the directions in a Norn Iron accent! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVrSgLNFToM

Perhaps someone needs to devise one that screams STOP every time you near a pub. That’s what I’d want.

Maybe one with a D4 mentality would be grand?

Geri – Heh! Was I that good?!

Maxi – Our K8 had all sorts of weird names programmed in. We spent the last stretch heading for “Dad’s Gaff” [which, I may add, Yer Wan coped with quite well!]

Brianf – Just wait until Google Earth goes live!!!

Prin – I hope it will be part functional, and part entertainment. Do you want me to help set up an ambush for the drive-by?

Natalie – “Garmin NUVI 760T FM Europe GPS” is what it says on the tin. But it hasn’t arrived yet. Definitely lost….. ?

Sixty – I have one of those already. I call it ‘Herself’.

Conan – And we will all give our addresses as N56.45.13 W02.12.6?
