Top 10 Reasons Moms Need the Sony Nav-U
For whatever reason, tech gadgets, and particularly car tech gadgets, are marketed at men. Much like the iphone is mistakenly marketed primarily at men. This is wrong people. So wrong. I do realize that navigation systems are very therapeutic devices for the direction-asking-impaired gender and all that. But who's the one obsessing about being in the correct lane a few miles before the exit and getting there while taking the fewest left turns? My money's on the mom with the kid in the backseat screaming "I gotta go! NOW!".
So without further ado, here's our list of 10 Reasons Why Every Mom Needs Sony's awesome Navu System.
10. Live traffic updates.
But don't tell anyone you have this ok? Cause sometimes you need to just sit and sip your latte in a quiet car listening to the Oprah channel on XM radio. If no one knows you can feign complete shock about that terrible construction traffic jam you just got "stuck" in.
9. Bluetooth.
Once you are safely stuck in traffic, listening to Dr Oz lecture about de-stressing your life (which you are now doing, yay you!) you may want to take the time to catch up with your friends. Keep your latte hand free, and keep the roads safer by calling friends hands free using the Nav U' s built-in wireless Bluetooth capabilities.
8. The slightly officious schoolmarm voice.
Let her nag your husband about his speed while he's driving. That way you can take a break and continue loudly singing along to the 80's channel's "greatest hits of 1987" countdown. If only she could remind him to take out the trash and stop by the drycleaner while she was telling him to exit left.
7. It's easy on the eyes.
This is thanks to the anti glare, easy to read, screen. Think of all the botox you won't need, from all that not squinting at your Nav System. It's also pretty sleek looking on the dash.
6. "How many more miles till we get to Grandma's House?"
And how many times do you want to answer this question? Just point to the screen. "Watch this number here honey..."
5. The Away Game in Outer Bumbleboondocksville.
Where was that sports park again? Go one step further and be the team hero and use the Nav u to locate a pizzeria and call for delivery. Dinner's solved!
4. The Specialists Office.
You know that doctor - the only one who can cure your feverish kid with the rare ankle rash? The one who's office is in suite #152278Z in the million block of that new mega business park somewhere near the freeway? The one who you waited six months to get an appointment with and who told you DO NOT BE LATE?
3. The Relatives.
Apparently relatives want to do fun stuff when they visit. And your laundry is not fun. Remember all the fun stuff you used to do in your area? Before you had kids who played soccer? No? The Sony Nav U knows how to entertain. It provides info on everything from restaurants to movies to dining out. And when the inlaws borrow your car, it will help them find their way back to your house. Which may not be a plus, come to think of that...
2. Always Fresh.
Is there anything more annoying that an out of date navigation system that takes you far out of your way because it had no idea that the road you are driving on even existed? The Sony Nav-U is easy to update so you won't miss a beat, or a turn.
1. "I gotta go! NOW!" (a tie with) "Mommy - my tummy feels funny..."
It's not really enough to only know where the nearest exit is.You need to know what gas stations are at the exit, and exactly which fast food restaurants and chain stores are there with fast access and relatively clean restrooms. The Sony Nav-U gives you that, fast! It delivers the info instantly with helpful graphic icons to steer you there in a hurry! I'm just waiting for them to add the Starbuck icon for me to refuel.
