GPS, GPS, GPS!

Yay, toys that are also things I actually need!

(Not so yay, the fact that it was a pain to install the maps! And now I kinda want to get a SD card just for maps, so I can play with them _all_, rather than just the ones which are local to me)

Maps, maps, maps.

And I'm far too entertained by having choices of voices. :)

Also, I could _not_ figure out how to install it using Linux, although I'm certain it's possible. Meh.

Choice of voices? I can just imagine the GPS of the future...Cagney style...

"So, what you want to do, see, is toin left here, see, and go up dat big road a ways."
"Yeah, boss, yeah."
"Den y'ere gonna make a right, see, but dey'll be a police station, so lay low, unnerstan'? No speeding, ya got dat?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Okays, ya got dat, kid? Good."

No, it's more that there's three US voices, two UK voices, and one AU voice, for the ones which speak English. (guess which one I picked)

None say anything unusual, although that might be entertaining, probably because it would also be distracting. :)

I heard somewhere that TomTom (I think it was TomTom) does offer character voices too. Amusing.

What brand? I got off track three times on this trip, once with embarrassing consequences. The need for a new smartphone may finally push me over to GPS.
