We got the most 'basic' Garmin nuvi,

And what I can tell so far is she's definitely Blond, and seems to have a trace of a Scandinavian accent,

She wont tell me her name, but I think it is Inge

GyPSy, swambo came up with it.

I started off by calling her Poppie, but Poppie has always been the name of my dad's next wife, should my mom pass away. I suppose Poppie will aslo be in her eighties now :lol:

I've never named a GPS unit, and I had no idea anyone did until I was riding along with my ex and she pulled out an ancient Garmin Street Navigator.. don't know what model it was.. one I'd bypassed I suspect.. she called it Elizabeth.


I just call mine by their models, "The 76CSX" and "The Nuvi."

Don't you just LOVE it when she CALMLY and with the sweetest of voices say: ♪♪"recalculating"♪♪ when you have gone off her proposed route?

Compared to SWAMBO's tone when you go off the proposed route :twisted:

Like I said, 'Inge' is blonde, She's a little slow on the 'recalculating scenario too.

When I went to Moorreesburg to play golf a few weeks ago, she kept on wanting me to drive N2-N7, I wanted R44,
It took me about 35Km, as not less than a dozen 'recalculating' (in her husky Scandinavian hinted accent) before she realized that I wanted to go the scenic route.

What can I say, If it wernt for the accent, I think I would have dropped her off in Stellenbosch.
