tomtom - what features do you use?

[Laura+Tom 2]

Tomtom even has a tourette feature on it.....................joking really

I kinda thought it would be funny if you could select a voice option with hysterical yelling, and which volunteers colorful expletives when you miss a turn.

If you suscribe to the Ozzy Osborne voice you'll get just that!

I think I'd prefer John Cleese in character of that Fawlty Towers episode where he gives his car "a damn good thrashing".

Believe it or not a few years ago Corgi brought out a Basil Fawlty toy car, complete with a little plastic figure wielding a tree branch. I bought it...

We have a Garmin, but I don't think it has any special features. I have a bad habit of not reading the manual, maybe I should check it out. Also, I assume we're supposed to hook it up to the PC and download updates periodically? Haven't done that either.

Software updates only. You have to pay $70 or so to get the map updates.

you can use your own voice. I found some pretty interesting ones for free on the program. stuff like darth vader, austin powers, homer simpson, etc

you can get the map updates for free with mine. I wonder if it just depends on what system you have?

I have Garmin.

maybe it depends on the model number? I saw that some features weren't available on all models.

they do have John Cleese available with TomTom but you have to pay to use his voice

I think with all the Garmins you have to pay for the major map updates. Unless you have some sort of subscription plan or something.
