Satellite Navigation To The Rescue

I was wishing the other day that I had a GPS satellite Navigation gizmo for my van. I am the type of person that can get across the country if I have a map, but don't ask me to go to next city even without one. I found http://www.handtec.co.uk/ they have all sorts of major brands like GARMIN, TOM TOM, MAGELLAN and more. Now to figure out which one would be the best for us. Wow there are 5 different ways to contact support. I love good customer support. When I want help, I want it now, and I want to understand the person I am talking to.

Do you have a GPS unit in your vehicle? What did we all do before all this technology? Sometimes I wonder if I could have ever survived back in the pioneer days. or navigate by the stars they way sailors use to do. I think I would have gone around in circles a lot LOL. With Sat Nav you just punch in where you want to go and boom, directions! I wonder what the real Magellan would think about that.

We should have gotten one a few weeks ago when my hubby was still doing his summer job. They had him driving all over creation. We would usually print out maps before he left, but if you run in to something unexpected, then what do you do? It use to be fairly safe to pull over and ask for directions, but these days, I would rather stay in my car. Anyway, back to shopping so I can pick the right one.
