how accurate are the indicated speeds on these , was doing a steady 110 on the clock

and sat nav was showing 106 its not a built in one its a tomtom

My TomTom one regularly shows about 6MPH less than the speedo. Car says 90, Tom says 84 etc etc.

At slower speeds it's about 2-3 mph less than the speedo.

The indicated speeds on satnav devices are a LOT more accurate than the one in your instrument cluster...

My speedo reads approximately 10% too high.

Anyone got any funny voices on there Sat Nav?

I want Ozzy Osbourne mine

I heard it on a friends one but the file wouldn't load onto mine using the leads/PC

Yeah I've got them, Ozzy gets on your tits after about half a mile, as does Austin Powers and.... most of the others to be honest. John Cleese is OK, but I usually leave mine on Joanna Lumley, all the "darlings" and "sweeties" make my day just that little bit happier.

So, where did you get the voices from?

Welly they were on a cd that I got given with the tom tom software, I'll have a look at the file sizes to see if they're e-mailable. PM me your e-mail addy.

Mine's a TomTom one if that's OK.

Holey smokes, I've not bothered looking on this thread because sat nav's a bit of a joke here (doesn't stop people buying it though), but now I find it's actual more interesting than I thought.

What des she say as she directs you over a cliff?

I always wanted an Ian Paisley talking car alarm - "SHTEP AWAY FROM THE VEAHECKLE!"

Lucky they didn't come up with a shirt lifter!
