The Father and the Sat Nav
Posted in Personal Tech on 03/10/2010 07:31 am by AMAUserDad has just bought a new Sat Nav and I am going to take you through the positives and negatives. He was lucky enough to actually get this for free as his company paid for it but there have been several issues that we have had to take on with it so far.
The product is a brilliant idea for anyone who is bored of getting out a map at every corner or perhaps on the verge of a divorce because the wife is still giving out the wrong directions. There are a couple of times that the Sat Nav took us in the wrong direction and then decided that it was out fault so told us to turn around post haste. There was one instance in which we were going to places unknown that the machine lead us into a road that didnt exist.
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
On the other hand the product can come in very useful if you purchase one that can be used in other countries. 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. It is not always necesscary to take out that extra PDA insurance
