Hurricane Irene – Automotive GPS to the Rescue!

Well, as the end of summer is upon us we just experienced a rare occurrence in the northeast, a category 1 hurricane which, fortunately for us, then reduced to a strong tropical storm. As the folks who live on the southern and southeastern fringes of the US are well aware there was some significant damage along the roads and bridges. To say there are or have been some detours is an understatement. Some bridges were washed away, and there were quite a few trees blocking roadways not to mention the roads which were flooded or just plain washed away. This was a great time to experience automotive GPS systems at their best! Detours can be so confusing, especially for all the folks who were in the area vacationing or enjoying their summer homes and aren’t necessarily familiar with all the back roads or alternate routes in order to get to where they need to be.  At this time especially, I wish everyone safety and health throughout the recovery period. Happy traveling!
