Dad gets a Sat Nav
from authorHaving my dad just purchase the Sat Nav I can now give the full detailed verdict on the product. He was perhaps a bit lucky as he managed to pick it up through his company, we have had several problems with the product though.
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 was one instance in which we were going to places unknown that the machine lead us into a road that didnt exist.
Another bad yet amusing issue is that he insists on using it for everything, even the easiest of trips now take longer while we wait for he crazy Sat Nav woman to tell us the way. I
On the other hand the product can come in very useful if you purchase one that can be used in other countries. Sometimes it can be nice to hear directions from a person who speaks english when you are abroad and providing it points you in the right direction it can be useful for that.
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
