I did something different today

I got board while driving around toady, I changed the language on my satellite navigator to Italian http://theblokeyshed.com/forums/imag...lies/smile.gif. Having an Italian female voice tell me to take the first exit at the roundabout sounds a lot more pleasant than the usual English voice.

Nothing wrong with that Phil.Sounds all normal to me and do you drive around Melbourne on the right or left hand side of the road when you have the euro voice working?:U:no:

I've been using a French female voice for ages. It somehow takes the monotony out of the directions but gives you enough info to help you navigate. Oddly enough, she was in a rather confused conversation with one of Telstra's voice message robots the other day while I was trying to wade my way through their horrible phone system to activate a new SIM. It went something like this:

Telstra robot: "Just say 'yes' to select one of the following prompts". Do you want to pay your mobile phone bill ...."

Navman: "tourner à gauche"

Telstra robot: "Did you say 'yes' or 'no' ?

and so on. It was quite amusing.
