I decided to organise a surprise birthday gift for my wife. It was a gift voucher from Jurlique (facial etc). Instead of just giving her the voucher, I wrote in her card that she had to use the ****** GPS and drive to a pre-loaded destination. It is a big shopping centre close to our house and I got it from the POI list in the GPS. She then had to open a second birthday card that told her to go to
Shop 40 to pick up her gift which was waiting with a dozen roses. Great plan until she called me at work and said that she had followed the directions but the only thing there was a sex
shop and fancy dress hire place!
Well, this is too much. The annoying female voice in the ****** will never see the inside of my car again.

Skull,
when I read your post I just broke up laughing. I could just see the missus thinking to herself. Birthday/gift/sex
shop and typical male.

My Tom Tom has changed my life, no more getting lost going to parties somewhere new, relaxed driving, the odd mistake yes, but overall my GPS has made life so much easier for me.

Gday Skull
My GPS works the same with my wife. Would not have a clue how to use the thing , so now she is back to using a PPS and still gets it wrong.

Fortunately my wife gives her company car back this week, including the annoying Tom Tom Lady Man, whatever it is. The bloody thing gets lost when you leave the outskirts of town.

Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear fame apparently lënt his voice to a GPS maker.
Imagine being led by him!

Thanks for all your support guys. My wife was only mildly suspicious until she read your replies. The previous owner must have gone there :)
