I tell her it is like having a back hoe. Great thing if you need one but I don't need one. my car gps died, so i went with smart phone. very nice when traveling for googling up local places and info. Absolutly... we use it all the time...."Find Dunkin donuts along route"... "Is it going to rain in Minot Maine Sunday?" "Text message to: ***** "looking for you at the fair, where are you guys?" |

When travelling for work, I get in the rental car and instantly turn on my phone mapping app. |
