I mean, I'm not unfolding an entire map as I'm driving over hilly roads going 75 mph...

I dont know anyone that would read a map while driving. You don't do that.

You look at it when not driving. Know where you are going before getting behind the wheel.

GPS is a great tool and I like having it.

But knowing how to use a map is important.

You should be pulling over to read a map not trying to drive while reading a map. It's got nothing to do with whether we had GPS before or not.

People before garmans use to study the maps before they set out to travel. If they couldn't remember they pulled off the road and looked at the map again then go on their merry way.

It's okay flan you can come over and have a dangerous trampoline party with me!

I usually do map quest directions & print them. I do read them while driving but if possible I try to do it at stoplights.

That's what I do too, or hand write them.

I prefer hand written directions.

And I write them big enough so I can see them without my reading glasses.

Well, I made it home and I only made one little wrong turn and realized it as soon as I did it. Then I looped around and took the new exit. I'm a really really anxious driver. I don't even like to drive. I think I've driven once since DH has been laid off. The problem is there's a very very nice new toll road that makes the path easier and more direct. A lot less traffic too. But the Garmin doesn't recognize it because of it's newness. So it just yells at you the whole time you're on the toll road saying you're driving in the dirt and find your way to a highway. I hate that biotch when she yells at me!

VSS SIL had her baby around two am. Charolette Elizabeth. Hate the first name. Love Elizabeth.

I'm back.

I left Kansas City at 4am. and rolled into my driveway at 1:45pm.

I would have gotten home at about 12:30, but I stopped in Denton and took Paul to lunch. So, I lost some time. But it was nice to see him. smile

I only racked up about 2400 miles on this trip. (Just a short hop, for me! LOL!) biggrin

And "Belle" turned 100,000 miles. I have to get her a detailing to celebrate. wink

Anyway, it's nice to be back. I'm whipped. I'll try to catch up with the board later. Or tomorrow. smile

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Glad you made it home safe & sound FWM. That was a long road trip IMO.

Oh, and DH and I have never left home together since we've had the puppies. DS stayed home with them. He said they slept in front of the front door waiting for us to come in.

When did you last update the map software in your Garmin? The maps are updated at least 4 times per year.

You should have gotten a USB cable with your Garmin to connect it to your computer, and Garmin Express updating software that checks for updates when you plug the Garmin into the computer.

What model do you have?

She does yell a lot! And she does sound mad! She just keeps saying over and over and over again "RECALCULATING" It's like she gets louder each time. And when we got the Garmin we had a cord to hook it into the computer. DH updates it periodically. We registered it and paid for a lifetime of updates. The only problem is the cord has gotten lost. We need to buy a new one.

I named mine Linda. I was driving with a coworker at my last job and we pulled in to grab something to eat. She did not appreciate the detour. Chris looks at me and goes, man Linda is bitchy today

LOL I don't own sweats! They are the ruin of a marriage you know. Haven't you heard? The fact that I don't own any is the reason I have such a good marriage!

Seriously here, there was a lady at the child support office with a t-shirt on that said, "I love bad boys. Ones who ride motorcycles and kiss hard." I was like WTF?

I know right? I'm not saying you have to dress all up but if you're going to wear that just tell the truth. Buy a shirt that says I like to get laid by men I don't know and now I'm here because I ended up with a baby.

SS's oldest half sister got pregnant at 17 by a gang member. Six months after she had the kid she found him in bed with the babysitter. Her little girl is two now and because they weren't legally married she was given low priority at child support court. She has a court date for this October.

He bought me stretch leggings and t-shirts. I embraced the change and have fallen in love with it.
