1. Okay, answer a question for me.
We got one of those a few years back as a gift, and I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to program it. :crazy:

I have a built in Nav system that I just dial in the information for, but the Garmin? Holy crap. Finally gave it away.

2. My pal has one and LOVES it. Says she will never travel anywhere without it.
They just used it on a trip to Orlando and she says it is the BEST thing since the wheel. She is no tech-nerd, so I'm thinking it must be pretty good.

I was actually wondering about putting it on my Christmas list so I could hear my husband could go, "Yeah, RIIIIIGHT."


:shrug:

3. Nav systems rule
I hated having to print out mapquest maps that dont make any damn sense all the time. Now this thing just tells me where to turn.

4. I just wanna know why we can't all have one
Thus making driving into one big computer coordinated dance.

And if its not to much, can they all control the cars so I don't have to drive in traffic anymore?
