We have no sense of direction. <\/p>\n
I guess I'm not the only one in this situation. For years I've had to fake being good at reading maps, pretend I don't need to ask the way, explain why a 20 minute journey has stretched to an hour and a half, swear blind that the junction I took was the right one so they must have changed the roads overnight. But never, ever, could I admit to another bloke that I had no sense of direction. <\/p>\n
Well that's all changed. SatNav is the gadget of choice of just about every bloke-ish bloke I know. And don't we just love it. We never get lost. We arrive on time. We don't get stressed. Instead…<\/p>\n
"Journey ok? Found us alright?"
\n
"Sure did. SatNav got me right here. I love it."
\n
"Great isn't it. I've got a NavMan 510. Would be lost without it… lol lol"
\n
"Voice any good?
\n
"Lisps a bit. Got it set to the female voice. How's yours?"
\n
"Not tried the NavMan. I've got a [insert model of choice]"
\n
"Any good on post codes?"
\n
"Updates automatically over the phone."
\n
"Wow, that's good…"<\/p>\n
And so on…<\/p>\n
And beyond this most unblokeish instant conversation, the whole experience of travelling by car is so much better. No blazing rows on the motorway with an apologetic partner alongside raising eyebrows and saying, "Well I did wonder if we should have taken that turn that said 'restricted traffic only'". No getting lost and ending up at a toll booth and waiting for the police to allow you to reverse out via a service road. No missing the motorway and taking the longest short-cut on the planet.<\/p>\n
Instead…<\/p>\n
Just get in and drive. Wrong turning? No problem, just keep going and get re-routed instantly back on track. <\/p>\n
Truly a life-changing experience.<\/p>\n
Do I like my NavMan? I'd be lost without it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t
