TomTom has a John Cleese voice you can buy! What will the man do next?

Okay before you tell me to read a map trust me its better I don't. Today was an hour late for a client. I have been getting by using MapQuest but today it seemed to have got confused and given a wild guess. I was miles away, late, stressed and just ready to give up.
I really need to keep this job even though driving to new places every day is doing me head in... So I'm wondering about a satnav system...
BL's reasons why not..
I cant afford it
I've heard they are crap to see in bright sunlight
I dont know if one will work on my jalopy hoopty mobile
I've heard some are not so accurate
Any recommendations would be really appreciated
I have done some research and have heard good and bad on Tom Tom and Garmin.

I am sorry to laugh but these things get to me.I used to drive down I-93 into Boston most mornings and see people who were going to work as they did every day on the same route glued to the SAT NAV device ...... do they think it will sugest anything other than straight on ?
I even saw someone on Aligator alley with one a few weeks ago ..... ERR Keep staright for 70 f**kin miles, there is nowhere else to go

Re: SatNav systems?
it gets a bit fiddly if you head up to maine when it branches off into I-295 as well....which is the better road to take, less tolls and quicker unless in morning traffic, getting around Portland, it's only a half mile longer, even if it's a 50mph limit going through the city and cutting back on to I-95 through the mall
