Totally useless question, but how many drivers outside of the UK choose to set up their Navigation system with British English as opposed to American English?

I chose British since, to me, it seems , more appropriate for a British car. Of course, I have to get used to being told to take a "slip road" instead of an "off ramp"!

 

British is best

 

I've had to settle for English English as there is no Scottish option.

 

I generally search in American English, but I'm fairly bi-lingual in the Queen's English.

P.S. GrahamPhotog, thanks for reminding me about "Slip Road" vs. "On/Entrance Ramp or Off/Exit Ramp." I've added those equivalents to my list of Acronyms, Abbreviations and Terms at the link in my signature line and I've credited you for contributing to the list.

Cheers,

I've got Ozzie Osborne on my Satnav - he caused a hell of a row in the car when he shouted out (in drug crazed drunken English) .......... and take the f*cking motorway!

 

There is no Scottish version otherwise they wood have to accept that we are the superior race.

 

I went to Grangemouth once to the BP works - and got lost! (I know you can see the site for 20 miles but I really cocked up!) I pulled off onto a roundabout to ask a Scottish guy the way ,,,, and if he hadn't pointed to the right direction I would have been none the wiser!

 

Glad he pointed you in the right direction you would probably ended up in Wales. Nice xk8 looks identical to mine.

 

I am Australian but have it set to Queens English because that's what we got taught in our schools at the time
I also have John cleese directing us my mates thing its hilarious

 

But "British English" in my Nav :-D

 

I am a Brit living in the U.S.A so I choose "British English". I have lived here nearly 30 years and am told that I still have a British accent.

 

I have American English on the Jeep's sat nav, British on my Navman and Akmal Saleh on the other one.

 

British because she's sexy.

 

British, because I'm British living in America.

 

Is it possible to get Elizabeth Hurley on voice? Can we get it so it says "Right there honey"...? or maybe "Where to next darling?"
