Beware Sat Nav could turn you into a Woman ??
Discussion
Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing this strange phenomenon
???
I have always prided myself on my sense of direction & ability to read maps quickly (even while driving) but a year ago I bought a Tom Tom sat nav system which is probably one of the best things I have ever bought.
So where is the problem you ask yourself well last week it decided to stop working while driving through the centre of London !!
"Trauma" all of a sudden I had no idea where I was or how to get where I wanted to go. It seems that all of my directional sense had deserted me & even when I pulled over I found it difficult to work out a route with a map!
It seems that as I have been relying on someone to tell me where to go when it was removed I suddenly had the directional sense of a woman??
I have checked the instructions & nowhere does it mention this possible side effect so please be careful out there.
Cheers
Howard.

£250 for SatNav......
.... or £2.99 for an AA Road Map. Hmmmmm
Oh, and AA maps don't have talivan locations
Gatsos are no longer hidden and are painted yellow, I have a fantastic system for detecting them that has so far proven flawless....... it's called Eyes. I use them. They even work for the vans, best thing is they're free.

What happened to it?
I have it on a PDA & it first lost it's signal (only using CF card receiver now ordered bluetooth one) & then it crashed & I had to replace info on sd card not sure why?
PS For those who say don't need one you have never tried one the points of interest that you can download (including speed camera sites so no more road angel) are fantastic & mean that wherever you are you can find nearest essential to you (pubs, nice restaurants,National Trust sites, banks, Shell petrol stations for optimax etc etc)
See here for examples of what you can download & therefore navigate to at the touch of a button www.pocketgps.co.uk/tomtompoi.php
Thanks
Howard.
Incidentally anyone who wants to add a new kind of voice to their Tom Tom ( He's called Roger Tourettes!) that swears profusely at you when giving directions e-mail me direct & i'll send it to you. (Very funny when your feeling tired etc. but warning do not use with children or parents in the car)
