Driven into a state of jealous rage at the sight of Geeklawyer flaunting his new Nokia N95 phone, Ruthie felt there was no option but to engage in a spot of competitive gadget purchasing just to even the score.
She is now the proud owner of a Garmin zumo 550 satellite navigation system. The 500 quid price tag (if you want full European mapping) caused a sweaty palms moment, but this, dear readers, is not merely a gadget, but a work of art. The Rolls Royce of sat nav systems. It’s so highly specced that it could double as a spare part for a missile launcher.
For motorcyclists it comes with a handlebar mount, and it’s waterproof so you can even use it to navigate your rubber ducks round the bath. It acts as an MP3 player, and a radio adapter is available. Check out a review here.
For Ruthie who has the sense of direction of a lemming the Garmin has revolutionised her life in a way that Paul Mckenna’s “Think yourself thin” has not.
