I bought my wife a Tomtom for her birthday today/tomorrow. (that is a brandname for a navigation device)
My daughter has a toddlers laptop that says things like: well done! if she presses the right button.
I would like such a feature on the Tomtom.
Lady says: turn left here
I turn left
Lady
says: well done!
I do not exceed the speedlimit
Lady says: You are a responsible driver!
Just a little positive feedback and encouragement. Soon I'll be talking back to it.
Lady says: you have reached your destination, phew we made it in one piece!
Yay!

Easy enough to build into a Tomtom, and should be able to be switched off. But not truly new and amazing, though it would sell. I threw in a croissant, just to balance the Autoboner. |

Is there a "doubtful spouse" setting? |
|
|
"Did you mean to turn there?" |
|
|
"I'll bet you didn't hit that tree yesterday." |
|
|
"Smile politely for the officer." |
|
|
Every one in a while, it should be wrong, admit its mistake, and politely apologize. |
|
|
...like "sorry I sent you down a one-way street, oops". |
|
|
"Turn next left, I hope you can swim" |
|
|
thanks [zenozeno] I'll do my best. |

"You've made good time... but you can do better. Next mile & 1/2 in 180 seconds. GO!!!" "Off the brakes" "Full lock left, back right." "Chicane ahead" "New lap record!" |

*That's* a feel good SatNav. |
|
|
"Easy right, maybe," always made me chuckle. |

Just what do you think you're doing, Dave? |
