Spend the $79 and get a Garmin
I'm the last to buy all of that new [censored] as I'm just really tired of it.
But the basic GPS comes in real handy if you get lost.
Plus you don't have to get directions from an Amish farmer which could take days
I love paper maps...I've tried the GPS Garmin gizmos...I don't much care for them. Too small and sometimes difficult to read for me. Nothing like a really nicely made, paper road map.
I'm getting old...what can I say!
I downloaded Navmii to our tablet, it's a free download and works off-line.
operates just like a Garmin or Tom Tom, with voice directions etc. But being a tablet, the screen is much bigger.
If my wife is asked to read a map, she keeps turning the bloody thing around, thenget Left and Right mixed up.
She never has any idea if we are travelling North, East, South or West instinctively.
Ha ha ha...that's funny. I've experienced the same thing with every woman I've ever been with. I think I'd choke if I ever saw a woman pick up a map and read it with authority.
