get a gps

More and more, I see people on the road using a GPS system. I’ve had friends and others coming to the house, and when I offer to give directions, I’m told, “No problem - I have a GPS!” Owning a GPS for your car is no longer a toy that only a few have, it’s becoming a lot more mainstream, and people are adding them for the big convenience factor. If you’ve looked at GPS navigation systems in your local big box electronics store, you’ve probably been surprised by the high prices and the lack of a selection. You also probably won’t get much information on the GPS system you’re eyeballing from the minimum wage big box employee. If you want product reviews, AND low prices, check out TigerGPS.com - they offer brand names like Garmin Magellan, and TomTom. Each product offers a thorough review, and if you’re not sure which system would work best for you, you can use the product selector to get a custom recommendation.

A GPS navigation system isn’t just for your car to get you from point A to point B without using a map. You can take one camping with you, keep one in your boat if you’re hitting the open seas, or even use one for fun while hiking and exploring. I’d personally love to get my hands on one to use for a scavenger hunt - wouldn’t it be neat to get your clues and then have to locate places with GPS?

   I am seriously considering getting a GPS for my husband at Christmas. We usually fight when we travel, over the directions. I wondering if it will save our marriage? LOL.
