I took my new GPS out for a spin today. Programmed it to get me to Kroger's. It decided to take a circuitous route. I think the reason is that it has some algorithm for calculating the fastest route that always goes for the biggest road. I reset it to take the shortest route and it did better. It was fun to drive around and watch it recalculate the new route home each time I deviated. All in all it looks like it will be quite handy. Interestingly, it had our favorite burger joint (Miller's) in its restaurant database.
I hope John found some generic Tylenols or something.
I don't want to worry about him driving to the Rue De La something.
I hate stuff like that. i just hate it.
John, I just asked asked my Tom Tom (Sat Nav) where the nearest Doctor is.
Apparently it is Dr Pierre something in Rue De La something in Paris.
I dont think I will ask for a home visit.
(This is totally true John).
You are right Exzim, by the time I have personally paid for the next World Drug Performance Enhancing Games (2012 Olympics) and the Fairy Story Expenses of our leaders.
Driving a motor vehicle will be a historical memory.
Just off to pump up the tyres on my push bike before they tax that.
The first GPS I ever used came with a rental car in Germany. You could certainly imagine the female voice saying 'turn right or we know how to deal with you'. When I rented one in France the voice insinuated all sorts of imagined delights if I followed instructions. In the USA of course if you turn right you get a free subscription to Hannity, if you turn left you are directed to a certain Federal institution in Thompson, Illinois. In Canada it doesn't matter, no one knows where they are going in any case. In Putney unless you have paid £500 tax for supporting destitute politicians, you won't be allowed to drive anyway. In Renton all roads lead to the border to pick up a little BC Bud, no, not Budwiser. In notner of course, there is no need for GPS, they have road signs.
