Ever tried using one when there is lots of roadworks going on not so bad if it has time to work out where its heading but if you have to turn here and there real quick it becomes funny! there have been roadworks on Ipswich road and the big sign on the side of the road says "Roadworks.. Ignore GPS and follow signs"...

I compared the two GPS units I have while driving yesterday. It was funny to hear the differences between the two. They each had quite different ways to reach the same destination. Neither were wrong, just variations.
The new Magellan GPS has a very authoritative female American voice, almost ordering you to make the turns. "MAKE A LEFT TURN!" My original Garmin GPS on the other hand, has a very soothing English female voice. You can almost imagine her saying"If it's not too much trouble, would you mind awfully making a left turn at the next street. Hope I'm not bothering you" It is so polite!
