I knew about those - last resort kind of thing because they are ugly.

Thanks though. Appreciate it.

Ya know, I've never understood the need (desire) for GPS in your car
or truck. This summer on our trip from Fl to WY, my daughters BF had
one and it never helped do anything but cause arguments. Without it,
everyone relied on my INFALLIBLE sense of direction. With it, they
tried to argue with me. You have to realize that "infallible" means
"Never admit you are lost, just say you want to see something
interesting" and keep enough sense of direction to eventually get
where you are going.

If God wanted you to have GPS, you would have been born with GPS. I
really think it would be one of those toys that neither of us would use.

You're not female. To them, maps don't count, unless you're Mrs Eisboch,
who, I assume, can read a chart.

Yeah, but the pizza gets cold and you start piling up customer
complaints.
