In Praise of GPS
April 26, 2008 by Tony
So, on our recent tour of colleges in the Baltimore-Virginia-Washington, DC-New York-New Jersey areas we rented a car from Budget. One of the options was the Where2 GPS for another $48 for the week.
What a bargain.
On our trip, rather than struggling with paper maps, we used the Garmin StreetPilot C550-based Where2 GPS. An absolute God-send. Did I say this was a great deal? Okay, it didn’t do well with areas where there was a lot of new construction around highway (freeway, and parkway) construction, but who would?
It was easy to use, easily re-routed us if we missed a turn, and always got us where we wanted to be. Other than some (what I would consider) odd routing, I can’t say enough about it. Good deal.
