Before I had my Garmin Nuvi Portable Vehicle GPS, finding my way to out of town destinations was stressful. I'm just bad at reading maps and seem to always forget which exit to take no matter how often I've taken the same route.
But, ever since the purchase of my Garmin GPS, I've become confident of finding my way around. I stopped asking my wife which exit to take and having arguments with her about my driving.
The Garmin GPS sits on top of our dashboard and is powered through the lighter outlet. We've set it up to show a bird's eye view virtual map of our current location. The virtual map on the screen changes to reflect our vans' movement. We can zoom in or zoom out.
Before we take a trip, we give our little GPS device the address of our destination. If we think we'll be going to the same destination often, we will add it to our favorites. Our Garmin voice tells which exit to take, which street to turn to and how many miles, feet and time remains before reaching our destination. If we miss an exit or turn, our Garmin will recalculate or suggest a route to get back on course.
Every time we drive out of town, we also look for a place to eat. Our Garmin helps us find nearby restaurants. I could go on and name a dozen other times our Garmin has made our driving experience a lot easier. It is truly indispensable.
