TTN3 on PDA or TT GO for the wife?

Just picked up the wife's new car (couple of hours ago). This coupled with the fact that she got Gatsoed the other day (41 in a 30 at 02:18 am!) makes me think I should get her some SatNav/Speed Camera system. I'm quite happy with my TTN3/BT GPS/HP2210 solution but it's not exactly plug 'n' play. You have to power everything up in the right order, and sometimes it needs a soft reset, etc. I'm wondering if TT GO might be a simpler solution for her?

Thoughts?

Yes, ask her what she wants! Wink

She may be happy with an identical system to what you have.
She may want the switch-on-and-go functionality of the TT Go.
She may not want anything.

Best thing to do is let her use your system a few times and then come to a decision. Thumbs Up

Trust me - get her a GO. Don't ask, just do it. Make it a present.

Wifes are more sensible than us blokes - they want to use stuff not analyse, improve, modify or extend it. You can do that when she's not looking!

Get her a GO for this reason: It's neater. Trust me, your wife will not want wires everywhere. I have wires all over my car and get an earful everytime she gets in it!

Also, if you can't afford satellite tracking, do what I do.

Put a "How's my driving?" sticker on the back of her car, along with your mobile number. :D

I think nej and old_phil are spot on, and understand how women work! :D

GO! My wife has a PDA based solution and whilst she wouldn't be without it I do have to regularly re-install when it gets left in a glovebox for a week and the battery dies.

Unless she desires the other benefits of a PDA then Go does it all just as well (if not better) and because it is a dedicated solution it can be pressed into action whenever required without worrying about wether the battery is flat or some other piece of software has caused a problem etc.

My wife would dearly love a GO unit (as would I!) but having said all that she is happy enough to have a nav solution at all!

carl_w is being too kind - old_phil does not understand how women work, he doesn't even yet understand how his own wife works after 31 years living together!

But I have picked up some tips along the way - enought to know that in these circumstances GO is the right answer!

Reminds me of the guy who put "How's my driving, call 09065 xxxxxxxx" (a premium rate number, £1.50 a minute) on the back of his van, then proceeded to drive around London like a complete arse :D
