Women can\u2019t read maps and real men don\u2019t ask for directions. It\u2019s a much-quoted general observation that\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

But now you can travel as far as Thailand with the in-car GPS from the European company that prides itself as the world\u2019s 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 \u201cyou have arrived, so get out, lie down and breathe gently\u2026\u201d and the old English army Sgt-Major (complete with bugles) who tells the driver to get on the motorway and \u201cwhen you see a tank, wave and say \u2018hello tank!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Kudos to the TomTom! I swear by the Alexander Technique! A must have while driving long distances.<\/p>\n
