It may be my imagination, but does yours put on a tetchy sarcastic tone of voice if you miss a turning or think you know better?
You're right, it is a bit iffy on the M8 in the city centre. Not even just near tall buildings. If you join the M8 at Charing Cross it tells you it's doing a route recalculation 3 times in the next mile.

I tried using the surfer dude voice coming back from Dundee the other day. It was amusing for a short time, telling me to "Chill, What's the hurry dude", if my accelerator foot got a bit heavy. Eventually it got on my t!ts though.
