Wow - is that right?

What other amazing tricks do these devices do?


They inform you when you've arrived at your destination!


No kidding.

Do they show you where you are real time?


Only if your navigator in the passenger seat follows along on the Rand
McNally with his finger at the proper time scale relative to the speed your
are traveling.

Damn - well, that's disappointing.

It's no wonder people can't remember anything as they get older...they
depend on their electronic devices for everything. And they blame it on
Alzheimer's! Ha!

I can see that none of you have been married for very long.
A. I NEVER miss an exit I want.
B. On the rare occasion that I have missed an exit SHE wants, it is
her fault for raggin on about something and not paying attention to
where she is

Did you check out her little webpage? Try doing this:
"2. Locate your parked vehicle- if you forget the spot where you parked
your car, a GPS device can easily locate it for you." with your built-in
GPS!

Ahem...

I listen to WEEI a lot in the morning - sports talk - as background.

They had a very interesting discussion about the new Patriots parking
schema for Gillete Stadium while they are bulding Patriot's Place
(where the new Bass Pro Shops is going - WHOO HOO!!) and one of the
callers related his experience of losing his car (not being familiar
with the new layout which, as I understand it, is quite confusing).

Guess how he located his car?

A portable GPS. :)

When he arrived, he took his GPS with him (for anti-theft purposes)
and when he got lost on exiting the stadium, in a fit of genius,
turned his GPS on and designated the last position - led him right to
the correct parking lot and his car.

Soooooo.....

I guess she was right. :)
