We have a Tom-Tom and chose the brit-speak voice and have nicknamed her "Tomasina".....she's quite the bitch when we do highway interruptus for gas or food............until we get back toward "Take the Motorway".

Speaking of Iowa, Tomasina got totally wigged out a couple of weeks ago when we swung north out of Des Moines and I saw an offramp sign at Ankeney for a Chili's Restaurant, and did a fast lane change to pull off and take advantage of a long unused gift card.

The little bitch got over it eventually, because we ordered desert to go and "shared".

We have a Garmin named, for reasons I have forgot, Sara. Last week we were in an unfamiliar town, and it was almost dark. She had us drive down a barely-wide-enough for our truck service road, into a train yard! We didn’t want to go back the same way, so we paralleled the trains for a while.
Pretty soon, we were beneath a bridge. She told us to turn onto it (into the river). She did not get her revenge.
