I have a little Satnav

I've had it all my life

It's better than the normal ones

My Satnav is my wife

It gives me full instructions

Especially how to drive

"It's 60 miles an hour", it says

"You're doing sixty five"

It tells me when to stop and start

And when to use the brake

And tells me that it's never ever

Safe to overtake

It tells me when a light is red

And when it goes to green

It seems to know instinctively

Just when to intervene

It lists the vehicles just in front

And all those to the rear

And taking this into account

It specifies my gear.

I'm sure no other driver

Has so helpful a device

For when we leave and lock the car

It still gives its advice

It fills me up with counselling

Each journey's pretty fraught

So why don't I exchange it

And get a quieter sort?

Ah well, you see, it cleans the house,

Makes sure I'm properly fed,

It washes all my shirts and things

And - keeps me warm in bed!

Despite all these advantages

And my tendency to scoff,

I do wish that once in a while

I could turn the damned thing off.

Very good

When quoting text written by somebody else it is polite to cite the source. I have edited the OP to add this.

It was sent to me as an email, so I am unaware of the original source.

Mine tells me this is the wrong way, despite the paid for one assuring me it is.

I have that exact model. We live 650 kilometers from Jomtien and I had to listen to that instruction the entire trip. It is better now because I made her take the bus back home twice. She finally got the idea that her supervision irritated me greatly. Since then, the Garmin has helped a lot as far as actual directions. Sometimes there are still instructions as to speed, passing and other warnings.
