what's wrong with Jill????

Jill is my GPS unit.. Janice, Shannon and I called her another name.. until I took her on a trip with my Parents..
(one can hardly tell his Mormon parents the name of the unit is "the b****")

it seems that her batteries overheat..

Our unit keeps telling me to turn around

We have a Tom Tom & it has the absolute worst mount! Won't hold onto anything.
However, she has a british accent and goes by Gwendolyn.

Oh and here's the info on the problem; Garmin is voluntarily recalling certain nüvi devices that contain a specific battery that was manufactured by the battery supplier within a limited date code range. Garmin has identified potential overheating issues when certain batteries manufactured by the third-party battery supplier within a limited date code range are used in certain Garmin nüvi models with a specific printed circuit board (PCB) design. It appears that the interaction of these factors can, in rare circumstances, increase the possibility of overheating, which may lead to a fire hazard. Although there have been no injuries or significant property damage caused by this issue, Garmin is taking this action out of an abundance of caution.
The recalled devices include a small subset of the following nüvi model numbers:
•nüvi 200W, 250W, & 260W
•nüvi 7xx (where xx is a two-digit number)
You can determine your nüvi model number by looking at the label on the back or bottom of your nüvi.

Happy motoring!

I hope the people that stole ours out of the vehicle enjoys their fire

Maybe the recall will adjust Jill's attitude....

new batteries always change my attitude.

I changed the voice on my TomTom. She has a more "Southern" accent than the ...other...bee-otch that was on there before. But this one still tells us to turn around, too. Constantly. So I turn her voice off. We borrowed a nuvia before we bought this and I think I liked it better.

Getting set on fire certainly changes *mine*.
