I Love my GPS!

on March 21, 2010

Posted by: SkySurfer

from San Diego

I absolutely love my GPS! I used to live in San Diego but then moved overseas for 10 years. So much has changed, but so much is still familiar. I use my GPS almost daily to help me find those places that continue to remain on the tips of my memory. It is especially handy in finding the fastest way from point A to point B when currently located in an unfamiliar part of town.

When looking up something in the GPS's database, I suggest always using the spell feature when you can. it makes the search MUCH faster. I also like to look places up on Google and then download the information to my GPS. This is much faster than letting the GPS look for it. An added bonus is being able to see the surounding area in Google's map when there might be a choice of multiple locations.

An added bonus of this GPS is that it can BlueTooth connect to my cell phone and thus provide hands free answering. Making a call via the GPS is possible but is hardly hands free. It is much easier to place the call via the phone but then talk via speaker phone via the GPS.

I've actually had this same GPS model for over a year and just bought this one for my son. I'm definately hooked!

What's great about it: It's a great copilot when driving alone!

What's not so great: There have been a few times when it seems to have gotten confused

I would recommend this to a friend!
