(I certainly HOPE something positive came with the directional impairment.) But it is just the most marvelous thing in my life. She never yells at me when I make a wrong turn. She just says, "Recalculating."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02151973138209679156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-36950640714956533952008-02-07T23:34:00.000-05:002008-02-07T23:34:00.000-05:00Oh, you are SO right.

After many days and nights of map refolding, tryign to read the map in the light from inside the glove compartment,and relying in mapquest only to make one wrong turn and be in the geographical twilight zone, I said to my husband: we have to get a GPS. <BR/><BR/>Why? he asked. We never get lost.<BR/><BR/>I love him. But we ALWAYS get lost. And besides that, the stress level of worrying, the whole way, about whether you'll be late or if you're going completely the wrong direction is such a waste of time.<BR/><BR/>Then we got Jeeps. That's what we call her. You know: G P S. Jeeps.<BR/><BR/>Our GPS voice has kind of a weird and indescribable accent. Sort of like someone from the UK who was taught American English via hooked on phonics. So some words, well, they don't sound exactly right.<BR/><BR/>But whoa. She certainly knows where she's going. We're in love with Jeeps. Even my husband agrees its an amazing device. <BR/><BR/>Not since: the fax. The ATM. Tivo. Direct deposit. Email. Diet Coke. Has anything been such a life-changing discovery.<BR/><BR/>So glad you love Tom Tom. May you find your way to living happily ever after.Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-63952772906234068892008-02-07T08:19:00.000-05:002008-02-07T08:19:00.000-05:00Experienced the joy of the Garmin on a trip last f...Experienced the joy of the Garmin on a trip last fall to Massachusetts. Ours has a female voice--sort of like Diane Sawyer's. I have to say that if I made a decision that she didn't like, or decided to turn earlier than she had instructed, she sounded QUITE disappointed. Maybe she's a mom with a guilt gene? MaggieDea, Kia, Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343657178001614404noreply@blogger.com
