Free GPS Guidance

Ha!  One of my closest friends in the whole world still was not willing to try using GPS.  “Why bother when you can just Google where you want to go and write out the directions? That’s silly. I have my directions all written out and will have a teenaged copilot with me. I don’t need to use GPS.” Well, I set up my Garmin nuvi in his car the other day when he was heading off to a new location, directions in hand, and asked him to just humor me and see how the automotive GPS compared to his written directions.  I showed him how to turn it off if it got too annoying and sent him on his way. When he got back to me he was truly amazed at what it was like to drive with automotive GPS on board. There was one intersection in particular that totally stumped him, and the GPS system just kept saying “recalculating”, and after a couple of tries it got him turned back around and onto the correct route. “Wow! Thanks! I’m not sure I would have gotten there without the auto GPS!” My friend is definitely a new convert to the use of automotive GPS.  I love it!
