I have to say I have to agree with that one, on a trip away with the lads they commented on how often the satnav told me to turn, eventually they were sat in the back watching a movie and boozing whilst I drive back and they were like a trio of parrots

I quite like the satnav but can't see any reason to have the voice guidance switched on, so mine is always off. Anyone who can't find their way to within 1/2 mile of their destination with just a map should probably be on the bus or in the back of a taxi ( ). However, I do like to see the miles to run and estimated time to arrival and also a quick check of alternative routes if necessary. |

Just turn the sound fully off and keep your eye on it from time to time, loads better |

I like to see the distance to the next 'event' and I really like the motorway display but other than that I don't know if this sat nav is the best around or the worst. You select a route and it will suddenly try to take you off it without saying why. It will take you up the slip road off the motorway and then back on down the other side.

That's odd....my sat nav works perfectly as does the bluetooth with my iPhone 4. John

When I dial a number nothing is heard - no dialling or ringing - until the phone is answered. If you can tell me how to get it to work I'll be a happy bunny. |

Don't know if this is anything to do with the latest iPhone upgrade but I just tried the phone in the car again. If I make the call from the car everything works OK. If I make the call using voice dialling then the same thing happens as before, no dialling or ringing sound.

I find my satnav ok but is it possible to change the voice to a male voice rather than the irritating woman? I quite like a masterful man telling me what to do (sometimes) 59 TD4e XS in galway green |
