Dad gets a Sat Nav
Dad has just bought a new Sat Nav and I am going to take you through the positives and negatives. Although he luckily got it through his company for free we have had a few teething problems with the Sat Nav itself.
The product itself is fantastic, a brilliant idea for someone who doesn’t want to constantly pull over and read a map or listen to the wife telling you the wrong directions. The real problem is that it turns into your wife because if it makes a mistake it then blames you for it by saying turn around, turn around, turn around (you get the idea). There has even been an instance in which it attempted to lead us onto a road that wasn’t there.
Another issue with the product is that it is being used for the simplest of trips and because you are busy waiting for the voice to say “turn left” or “speed camera” it actually ends up taking longer than it would without it. I
The Sat Nav is best used in foreign countries where you have no idea where to go at all. When you are in a foreign country it can be nice to be told the directions by somebody other than your wife or someone you do not understand.
Replacing them is not easy either which is why some form of Sat Nav Insurance will need to be taken out to avoid nasty replacement costs. Of course you could get gadget insurance as this actually sets out to cover you against other things like phones and games consoles. Perhaps it is an idea not to take out that extra mobile phone insurance
