I call mine "Chigger" because it is really good at finding them. I also have named a new dance move that I call the "Compass Calibration Shuffle".

I don't have a name for it, but I do call it insane when it is fooling around with me! The other day, I was walking toward the cache, and the compass arrow was pointing behind me, away from the direction that the cache was, even though the distance was decreasing. I ended up walking past the cache, because it lost the signal.

Mine has several names. None of which I can post here without getting banned. There is one in particular that I use A LOT, and those that cache with me more than once, know what it is. It is also something I can't post here without getting banned.

Just wondering if anyone has named their GPSr

I don't know if it's true or not but when we first got the 2610 I was told that the lady whose voice was used was named Betty so that's what we call it.

The Team calls ours "the machine."

 

I don't usually name things, but I used to have a 21 year old Chevy truck (old but in great shape). It was stolen. When I told my friends about it they all said something like "Old blue was stolen." One of them had named my truck "old blue," and everyone knew the name except me... The nerve of some people, naming another person's things....

Mine doesn't have one :huh: , but I'll work on that. I believe that it is worthy of an identity of it's own.

 

My mom has one that talks (probably that Betty girl) and she has named her Gypsy. Thought she has definately been called some other names in her lifetime. :huh:

We generally call it 'the gizmo' unitl it gets real insistent about telling us we are going the wrong way when we know where we are going. Then we call it "Mr. G" or "Big G" unitl it gets REAL annoyng, then it becomes "That D@#$ THING!"

Mine is "Homer".

 

"Bring Homer over here, Mom."

"Can I use Homer? I'll be nice to him, I swear!"

"C'mon Homer, take me home!"

"Doh! Nice job, Homer."

 

Oh, it gets called a lot of other things when the kids aren't with me and, like others here, I can't say what or I'll get in trouble with The Establishment. :(

Bob.

 

It started after spotting the Bob campaign in Europe the last couple years.

 

No matter where we are we don't worry because we know Bob will get us home...

Interesting, this is an older thread that I thought I had responded to. Perhaps I'm thinking of a different one that I did post to.

 

Our PDA is named "Nestor" which is a reference to the Butler in Tintin. We tried to keep to the theme of Butler or Secretary and named our GPS "Moneypenny". She has a woman's voice, and is always telling us where to go and what to do. :(

Batman dubbed ours Gypsy. We also occasionally refer to her as Lola, in deference to the Robin Williams movie "RV." In either case, it is definitely female, though now that Batman thinks about it, maybe it should be male, since it never has to stop and ask for directions. :anitongue:
