Drive from Singapore to Thailand with TomTom
Women can’t read maps and real men don’t ask for directions. It’s a much-quoted general observation that’s been attributed to more than a few disastrous road trips. In more recent years, the situation has been mitigated somewhat by in-car navigation devices, riding on the free U.S. space-based radio navigation system known as GPS (Global Positioning System) that offers everyone positioning information.
Among the plethora of in-car GPS navigators available in retail outlets around Singapore and its neighours, TomTom is one new kid on the block that’s worth checking out. iPhone users may already be familiar with the name, being one of the few driving apps that takes drivers happily around Singapore and Malaysia.
But now you can travel as far as Thailand with the in-car GPS from the European company that prides itself as the world’s leading provider of location and navigation solutions. As you can download as many voices as your device can handle and change them at whim, there were driving trips with the Alexander Technique teacher who reminds “you have arrived, so get out, lie down and breathe gently…” and the old English army Sgt-Major (complete with bugles) who tells the driver to get on the motorway and “when you see a tank, wave and say ‘hello tank!’”
Kudos to the TomTom! I swear by the Alexander Technique! A must have while driving long distances.
Take it from someone who has no sense of direction whatsoever, the TomTom is a great gift!
