The DAB antenna for my Garmin Nuvicam that picks up traffic jams and gives you alternative routes or adds on time to your ETA. Couldn't you have placed the antennae on the side of the screen where it wouldn't be so intrusive? That would irritate me where it is. In some American states, that would be illegal and would attract a penalty. Same with GPS/Satnav: it has to be positioned so that the driver cannot reach it whilst driving - again, in some states. So you legally have to place it out of your way so it's difficult to look at? That law is counterproductive. -- If European immigrants voluntarily went to America and it turned out like that, how come Britain sent a load of convicts to Australia and it turned out better? |

The satnav looks almost the size of a small computer monitor. That is ridiculous in my opinion. It's close to the camera silly. I'd say it was the size of two small car air vents. -- A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items. |

Better than the one on my new Giulia where you have to copy the mobile phone nodders and look down at the console, which is where we came in. I only listen to my satnav, that's what you are supposed to do. That's the whole point of it *speaking* directions. Easier to glance at the map for complicated junctions or large roundabouts. -- Women do not snore, burp, sweat, or fart. Therefore, they must "bitch" or they will blow up. |
