I've got a Garmin one - she's called Ethel and she certainly knows her way around!

ANOTHER SAFETY TIP

Don't put your own address in the "HOME" section of your SatNav. If someone nicks your car with your SatNav in, they can then make a beeline directly for your house, and if they're lucky enough to have your car keys, they may well have your house keys too! Always make sure you wipe the suction-cup mark off your windscreen - it's a dead giveaway for thieves!

Hope you don't get lost

i'm at a show most weekends in summer & do loads of travelling in the campervan, I usually have at least 2 people following me with caravans but on the one occasssion I borrowed O.H.s sat nav "Sexy Susie" :- " it didn't know about the caravans & directed me down a very narrow road. Luckily we all have walkie talkies so I was able to tell them not to follow me, they wouldn't have been able to get through. So they ended up going round a roundabout until I found somewhere to turn around :angry: STRESSED

I :rant: :rant: a lot & was tempted to throw the damn thing out the window.

I ended up turning it off & going back to the map.

I've not used it since as I don't trust it anymore but O.H. loves it as he's rubbish at directions so believes everything Sexy Susie tells him :- "

It's a Tom Tom & quite basic but gets him from A-B

hurray!!

went to Cathie's house today, so she could see if I was looking after Monty ok, and am very pleased to say that I got there just fine and was only 10 minutes late - which is pretty good cos last time we went we were an hour late

better post some pics of Monty and his mum and sister on general whippets :thumbsup:

Glad this topic has been put on - ive recently been thinking of getting one as i always have to drag OH to shows with me as im totally useless at directions and ive only been driving a few yrs, and mainly just drive on my own to work and into town - just local really - so the idea of driving miles to a champ show on my own is terrifying!!

I just presumed all you guys were super confident drivers and map readers! Youve given me a little ray of light Jo cause i always presumed you drove to shows on your own, no sat nav! ive always thought - 'i wish i was that brave'! :lol: :thumbsup:

might get searching for a sat nav then!
