Our satnav's pronunciation of Avenue Des Forces Francaises Libres always raises a smile when we arrive at Roscoff.

When we are in France, I can't be sure whether she can't pronounce french names, or she assumes that we wouldn't recognise them if she did!

My son had a satnav commentary from the "A-team". The voice was that of B.T.Barracas saying "Turn left fool" and so on.
It was funny first time but quickly palled

My Satnav overheated in France so I had to buy a new one in a supermarket, the one on special offer excluded the United Kingdom, I almost bought it.
My friend's old Volvo speedometer failed, I suggested he use a satnav as a speedometer and set one up for him.
Being a bad friend I actually set up 2 satnavs in the car to compare speeds and he drove with 2 sets of conflicting instructions. On roads he was familiar with he soon became quite frantic!

OH uses his smartphone rather than the satnav in the car. His man is rubbish at French pronunciation, creates lots of hilarity when we are touring.
The car one calls the A627(M) 'A627 parenthesis M', don't know why.

Maybe if Satnavs were to detect which country or region they are in and speak in the (selected) English language but with a local accent getting all local pronounciations correct.
So in Wales you Satnav would speak like Dylan Thomas whilst in France it would become Inspecor Clueso.
