Sat Nav why oh why
Discussion
Aston Martin DB9 (facelift), so here I am with one of the most beautiful machines on the planet, power, beauty, sole and all that. A symphony in design perfection, sensuous lines, sleek and sexy. You sit in the drivers seat and you are enveloped in opulence, understated and oh so sexy. Blip the emotion control unit and the glorious sound of the V12 fills your senses,hit the little D button, touch the accelerator and she comes alive...
So lets program the Sat Nav and set out for our desired location, the little screen gently eases its way out of the dashboard, you then type in your location and hit start guidance, up pops the map showing you the route, you proceed to pull off, approaching the first corner...at this stage up pops herr grupen fuhrer..
AT ZEE BOTTOM OF ZEE ROAD TURN LEFT..TURNS ZEE LEFT NOW!...
Why oh why did Aston Martin of all companies choose a mad lesbian with a deeper voice than a gorilla with the horn for its Sat Nav. This women would put James Bond off sex for life.
Can someone please tell me there is way to change this.

I ask you: half a post code!!
Apologies if the newer model is better than the older one
Two choices (both in settings):
1. Select the male voice - it is better (actually, I think that the "female" voice is the male one digitally altered - hence sounds decidedly unsexy)
2. Set the volume to zero - my preferred option. I seldom find I miss a turning as I pretty much always see when the display changes to indicate the next turn.

totally agree on point 2, thats what I do.1. Select the male voice - it is better (actually, I think that the "female" voice is the male one digitally altered - hence sounds decidedly unsexy)

You realize that there are people that payed extra to hear Colonel Klink on their TomTom?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHD_53UqBeA
I'd prefer Sergeant Shultz anyway. That way when you ask it which way to go it can say "I know no-thing!".

nasty thing stuck on the winderscreen, just not Aston!
your right........... but as I probably need satnav in the Aston once every 27 years I suffer the indignity
You don't stick the TomTom on the windscreen. You put the Aston sat nav screen up, turn the sound off and stick the TomTom to the Aston satnav screen. Then its at the right height, and not blocknig the windscreen
Ooh and you get a decent Satnav where the Satnav should be

Satnavs are a useless gimmick
I call them t
tnavs, toys for the ladies,
The screens are far too small, besides you can get to within at least 500 yards of a destination using road signs.
A decent A5 road atlas is a far superior option with quick and easy referencing.
Men are hunter gatherers, we don't get lost.
