I have a lot of talents, or so I'm told, but a sense of direction is not one of them. In fact, I have yet to meet another human being who can so consistently get lost, even in her own neighborhood, as yours truly. I once even managed to get lost on an airplane and needed help to get back to my seat.
So I suspect my friends are all thinking about getting me a GPS unit for Christmas. That's great, but, girls, please keep it simple. I don't want something that talks or beeps at me. A map would be nice, but all I need is an arrow on the LCD screen which says, "This way, dummy!".
I'm not sure any GPS actually says that, but simple is always better and purse size would be best. I like the cute little
Garmin Etrex Venture. It has the ability to download maps. Perhaps, now, I won't get lost when I take the garbage out or maybe I'll even be able to get back to the sale asile in the department store. Important things.
