My all singing all dancing BMW SatNav, whilst driving down the Autobahn a few weeks back announced that I should "turn left NOW!". Fortunately I decided that at just over 100 mph that was not such a good idea not to mention there was no left turn. It is only as good as the Muppet that writes the program.

I keep expecting mine to turn round and say, "are you listening?"
You know why its mainly a womans voice. Because we as men are so used to nagging and poor directions from them, that ignoring them and doing it the right way is simple. Grin
