+Carbon Hunter Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I have noticed most people with a GPSr have given theirs nicknames. What is your ickname - and how did it come about? My faithful Quest 2 is "Skattie" as she helps me find the treasures i'm looking for. Quote Link to comment

+Cape_Guy Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I have a Garmin Nuvi 710. I use a British English female voice ... She gives me directions wherever I want to go through my car audio system ... My Nuvi's name? ... LUCY ... Why? I sometimes ignore her directions and I don't always take directions from women! Happy hunting! Quote Link to comment
+CapeDoc Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Sorry, I am dull. My Nuvi is just "my Nuvi". Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Sorry, I am dull. My Nuvi is just "my Nuvi". YEAH - me too. My Vista is just a GPS. Quote Link to comment
+the pooks Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Not sure whether it is the sat-nav or the gizmos (esp the seat belt warning sounds) in the Landrover Defender, but my sister calls the stuff that delivers all the warnings "Mona Lisa" as they keep moaning at her! Mona Lisa drives us nuts. The motoring industry seems content to excuse us from the mundane activity of THINKING... Quote Link to comment
+Bouts777 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I just sometimes call my GPS names. That is when I have trouble finding a cache and then I usually call it "the @$%#! GPS!" Quote Link to comment
+Noddy Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Destiny has taken me to some wonderful places. Sometimes she gets ignored, which usually means i get lost. Quote Link to comment
+Fish Eagle Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 "Sexy Suzy" when she routes us around Chatsworth and Langa. Some really horrible names when she doesn't.... Quote Link to comment
+batsgonemad and his squirrel Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 our Nuvi is simply called Mavis she has and Afrikaans voice. A little reminder of home when she is used Quote Link to comment
besem Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 When naming Trixie I initially thought about forming a combination of eTrex and Trixie, but I didn't have the guts to send something out there called "besem's eTrexie". My new GPSr is called James. James is a good name for a chauffeur, and my GPSr is almost like a chauffeur: I tell him where I want to be and he takes me there. Too bad I have to do my own pedalling... Quote Link to comment
+anlufu Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 My Dad named my etrex n'garmina.. Quote Link to comment
+Tricky Vicky & Mickey Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Irma is our trusty Quest 2 - she has an American voice which is preferable to the high pitch English one and frequently is known to yell at us 'Off Route' when we forget to listen to her instructions and disobey her commands!

+JPMZA Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 My GPSmap 60CSx is called "Roger" - almost confirming the directions he gives me! JPMZA Quote Link to comment
+W@lly Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) My 276C is "Carin" She is always in the car and always tell me where to turn, just like a woman!! Edited February 24, 2009 by W@lly (aka Wallace & Grommit) Quote Link to comment
+GEO936 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Our Nuvi 710 is called "Sophie", because we use the UK accent when needing the voice for directions. We share this GPS with Rolf's Dad, and he calls it "Sally" when it is with him. We also have an eTrex, but we haven't given that one a name as yet. Mmmmmm, I'll need to chat to Rolf about that and find out if we should give it a name! Quote Link to comment
+Henzz Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 My caching companion is a Nuvi 500... Her name is Sandy... Sometimes she is the sweetest girl in town, and she points me straight to the little hideouts, But then sometimes she is a real B!+@h, temperamental, and plain downright spiteful... But she is my best buddy out there... And she never stays at home... She is always within an arms reach... Quote Link to comment
