We got a GPS a few years ago and I must admit that I love it to death. I am terminally directionally challenged. I LOVE not having to ask my DH for directions (which always came half a block and a lane change from a turn).
I am thankful for my GPS when I am trying to get to DD's house in the city and there is a major accident on the 401 (freeway in Toronto) and I have no knowledge of the surface streets to her home.
But the best thing of all--My DH programmed our GPS for factory outlets and QUILT SHOPS!!!! Now you just gotta love that man!! (even tho he also programed it for Starbucks--blech--but they do have a good magazine section!)
BUt I do have one beef: WHY WILL MY DH TAKE DIRECTIONS FROM THE FEMALE IN OUR GPS WHEN HE NEVER WILL TAKE MY DIRECTIONS!! Arrrgggh!!
