Being a "map and compass" person I bought this for a gadget-loving friend who has had endless problems with real Sat Navs ... to the point of ringing me (when away on hols) for directions because he had spent 4 hrs circling one city! This was a perfect Christmas present for him, and had us both roaring with laughter at the spoken commands. Overall decision was it was probably better than the real thing!!! Looks real, although the screen would be better with a variety of images. The woman's voice is "just like the real thing", so patronizing! Definitely a great buy for someone with a sense of humour, or a gadget freak!
