Usually it’s the truck I talk to, but the odd time the satnav tries to send me up the worst possible road and the conversation goes
‘Turn right.’
‘…’
‘Turn right’
‘Hahahahahaahahahahah. No. Next!’
‘In one hundred yards, make a u-turn’
‘No.’
‘In half a mile, take the fourth exit on the roundabout.’
‘Oh look, a roadsign for the M6. Goodnight satnav.’
‘Make a u-tu-beep’
Although I’m a great believer in using the sat nav as a back up and map as primary I must confess there has been the odd occasion I have just popped the postcode into the sat nav and gone for it, stupidly trusting the sat nav. However as I have come unstuck on more than one occasion doing this and thus arguing with the sat nav I now get the map book out then google maps + satellite then sat nav as last on the list.
Anyone else notice how envigorating it is to turn the sat nav off and use our eyes + road signs instead.
One day the GPS satellites are going to go offline and the countries going to come to a standstill.

After being on the road up and down the country for more than a year now I’m starting to build up my mental map enough that when I get the text saying where I’m going next it’s just a case of 'Heck, I know where that is!" Followed ten minutes later by ‘Wait… wait… I remember there’s a twelve foot bridge somewhere down here…’ Ah, my map isn’t perfect yet.
I am pants at remembering roads 
I drove buses for 17 years moons ago and in all that time I think I only did about 6 different routes, the office thought it was hilarious 
And believe it or not I get our long service lads phoning me for directions 
I must be improving with age
That said the bus passengers looked worried when I pulled out a map, I even use to let the odd tidy blonde bird get on the bus for nothing if she would stand at the front and tell me the route, you never answered back at that sort of sat nav 
On more than one occasion ive told it to shut up when it tells me to “make a u turn where possible” after its tried to send me down a narrow country lane and carried on hoping it will re route me. Ive then told it to reroute me instead of insisting. Lol
Just F-ing gear box lol
Never had a satnav to talk to in 32 years of driving, just one of them old fashioned things called a map!!
i talk to mi satnav and miself,also pull faces when im bored i like to see if anybody passing in a car has seen me or anybody on opposite carriageway.
My Satnav is called Sally (the Satnav) & I love her & hate her, but mostly love her !
She’s a Snooper with different height configurations but has the odd Eppy Fit & try’s to send me down 7.5t weight limits occasionally, that’s when she gets a mouthful. I play Beat the Satnav most days, turn her on ! stick the post code in her ! & make a note of her time of arrival, I can usually beat her but occasionally she beats me by ■■■■■■ first.
My wagon’s called Jennifer (after my Daughter) & she gets TLC every day & I often have a one way conversation with her, praising her for getting up a steep hill, over a building site without any mishaps or apologising to her for over speeding for too long or braking too hard.
Perhaps I’m as mad as Dave, but at least we’re admitting it-Lols.
Of course who dont
tango boy:
Just F-ing gear box lol
That one too.
Behave !
What’s a sat nav !

Exactly 
only when im telling it too shut the ■■■■ up or screaming at it for taking me the wrong side of a low bridge
On further thought, it has dawned on me I talk to my wagon/sat nav/radio/ air freshener even my arm pits more than my Mrs when in the wagon as when she phones me (HANDS FREE OF COURSE 
) I know she wants me to do something I dont want to do, so I obviously tell her she is breaking up as I have hit the black spot for coverage on the M62/M6/M1/M5/M4 and most of the A roads in the country 
Then get back to my X factor trials
Yes, definitely talk to my truck and my satnav… I call the satnav ‘Shelly’ and she get’s the blame for all the problems I find myself in. I never tell her how good she is, nor do I buy her flowers or choccies, I wonder if we should go to counselling.
I usually call mine names when it’s trying to take me one way, yet I know fo shizzle that there is a better/faster/easier route. 
My sat nav has a lovely ladies voice… I would love to talk to her but as usual i cant get a word in edgeways
