I bought a Navi-Go 3½" SatNav from eBuyer in the summer because I had to get to a whole range of obscure places towing a 30 foot trailer at weekends. It was absolutely fantastic - just so long as I remembered to organise routes in stages so as to avoid known traffic nightmares like most motorways and so long as I actually trusted it and didn't assume I knew better.

It came with some software called TurboDog 5 but I replaced that with TomTom 7 and a whole medley of entertaining "Celebrity" voices - for the most part I use Sean Connery

The only time I really had a nightmare with it was when it elected to take me through the West End of London on a Friday night.

I think that so long as you use it sensibly, think about the route it is proposing and setup way-points to avoid known nightmares, a SatNav is a fantastic aid.

The initial post was a lot milder than I was expecting.

I was expecting the battery in the sat nav to have leaked and melted a hole through the dash and Huddy's trousers, causing him to swerve violently and hit a camel that had escaped from a zoo.

2/10 for effort Huddy.

I think we can forgive Huddy for getting his hopes up.
