However, I stopped using the GPS at Broken Hill -- she is just too stupid -- your story made me grin. However, I think GPS is great for finding the way around to a particular destination within a city. Perhaps she is just a city girl.<br /><br />Winam, the reason I went with the GPS is that there is not always mobile coverage to be able to access Google Maps.<br /><br />Megan, backup plan paper map won't be discarded any time soon.<br /><br />Julie, love that word "flatosity"Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139161043677921966.post-75316681699602943412010-08-20T11:36:09.550+10:002010-08-20T11:36:09.550+10:00This is why I refuse to get a GPS!
