We named ours Suzie. She really gets upset when she continually has to recalcuate. Even when you have to go to a rest area to go to the bathroom. What an amazing invention for us who are directionally challenged.

Our is "the girl' Have to notice the girl gets angerer everytime she has to recalculate. So we make her do it on purpose

[swrinfla]

Just to add a little levity:

If you've gone to the "trouble" of naming your GPS contact, have you also named:

Your automobile?

Your golf cart(s)?

Your house?

'Twould be fun to know!

Swrinfla,

I think the reason that so many people name their GPS is because she talks to us, tells us where to go, so we feel a bonding with the lady, or gentlemen whatever the case may be. Whereas we cant really put a voice with our car, our golfcart , etc.

Ours seems to get PO'd too - like she is dealing with idiots.

I would LOVE to write a script of some real sassy things for Mz. GPS to say when the driver continues to ignore the directions. Oh the joy of what I would write. A little exasperation and maybe have her say a few cuss words. I bet they could sell it!

[nONIE]

Gracie, I have no doubt that they could sell anything you write!

Well....I am embarassed to admit this, but I dont have one. . I think I will put it on my Christmas list this year, as I am absolutely sure I will need one in TV lol . I will have to think on the name, but I am sure I will come up with one hehe. I'll get back to you on that one.

Can you get the voice in the car with which you can argue without getting a GPS? Don't need nor especially want a GPS but y'all have made the voice sound kinda fun.

Muncle, have you named your Yesteryear Kart?

[swrinfla]

nONIE:

I know very well that, if I had a GPS system, "she" would undoubtedly have a name. But, I remain more inclined to use a folding paper map and my gut to help me find where I am going!

My flying brother loves to ask his on-board system where we are, then he surveys where he is to see if the system (no name, yet) is right!

I suppose one of these days I will replace my car ("Mayflower") and will probably get one with a GPS whose name will be determined by her personality. I don't think I will need a system in my golf cart ("La Sotisse") because I don't wander off well-worn tracks in her.

And, the house doesn't need a GPS because it ("Le Chateau de la Regle") just sits here.

P.S.: La Sotisse is French for "folly." That's what I thought having a golf cart when I don't play the game meant!

No, Bare, I given the cart no name nor determined its sex. So far, it's just a collection of parts artfully assembled to do a function, like a toaster or weed eater. Maybe if I had a yacht, I'd call it a her and refer to "her" by name. but more likely I'd just call it "the boat." I guess I got no imagination.

I do mumbled to myself occasionally when I see the still new to me Kart, generally something along the lines of "What a waste! What in the He11 were you thinking when you bought that!"

"Lyle". My friend's GPS is Penny. One day she told me that Penny wanted to go out with Lyle!

[walkstop]

We call our GPS "Nuavo." We don't know why we call it that, but we just do...
