Husband Vs Sat Nav...AIBU

I have had a reasonably new car and today went to collect a child from a friend's house with my husband in my car. I had previously stated I had got lost going to this place before and put my Sat Nav on. For my husband to turn it off saying the voice was annoying and HE WOULD BE THE SAT NAV instead. He then proceeded to tell me the directions all the way there..like a Sat Nav would...AIBU to think this is strange behaviour???

If you don't like being in my car, you can always walk? No, stfu and ill stick the sat nav on.

Wow, can he tell you there's even an accident on Normal Road so you need to use Alternative Way instead?

Sat navs are better than people. They tell you useful things like what lane to be in before you need to be in it, which is handy if it's very busy or an unfamiliar place. They tell you the speed limit. They tell you if there is congestion ahead and ask if you want to go another way. I would prefer to be directed by a sat nav rather than my husband (who is fine at directions and not especially annoying but still not as good as a sat nav).

If you missed the turn did he say 'Recalculating'

He was like an actual Sat Nav. Folks also use Sat Nav to know the speed limit, cameras and arrival time so I was baffled. Can anyone unpick this?

Was he just saying turn lett, turn right or was he mimicking the robot voice?

Not really, if he knew the way and could direct you you didn’t need the sat nav on.
