One summer a friend told me to get lost - so I did. I piled a few friends into my car and drove aimlessly until horses outnumbered people and gas stations became as frequent as views of the Loch Ness monster. As we watched the gas meter sink dangerously below empty, we realized we were hopelessly lost - and in trouble.
Road trips make the perfect occasion to get out and see the country; places you've never been before, learn a few things and maybe visit an old friend or two. GPS devices make the perfect traveling companions on a road trip - nothing's worse than getting lost without gas, food or lodgings anywhere in sight.
But since everyone knows a road trip is the best way to get nowhere fast, your GPS device can help you source out restaurants, hotels, great coffee shops - so you can stay nourished and safe while exploring.
GPS devices help you navigate unfamiliar streets and reorients you if/when you make a wrong turn.
GPS devices let you find familiar restaurants and new ones you've never tried - plus they provide step by step directions, so getting lost is not an option.
GPS devices allow you to add in waypoints for future trips to the same locale.
GPS devices can introduce you to places you'd never heard of before - helping you make the most memories on your road trip.
GPS devices help you plan pit stops so you spend less time looking for public restrooms and more time checking out more interesting sites.
GPS devices can act as a cell phone allowing you to keep in touch with those at home during your road trip.
GPS devices are so easy to use you hardly have to crack open the user's guide.
GPS devices are cool - which means your kids can help you navigate instead of whining about how long it is to the next pit stop.
GPS devices will never fall asleep on you, unlike some road trip co-pilots.
Next road trip spend less time scanning coffee-stained maps and more time enjoying your surroundings. GPS devices can help you get there faster, and permanently chart your path for future explorations.
