Heh...

My TomTom does thing weird thing where it tells me to turn left where
there ain't no left. *It's always on country roads too. *Turn left,
you're in the swamp - I swear. *:)


Luddite for me. But I go beyond satalite guidance. I'm too old school
for baout anybody.

But it seems to me that in many cases the GPS is worth about as much
as MapQuest.


All in all mine has gotten me to at least a dozen NE racetracks, around
several closed streets, food, banks, gas when out in nowhere land, and
last minute detour decisions for food or folly... It only tried to
bring me into a road from the wrong side once.. I would reccomend one to
anybody who traveles strange roads...
