garmin gps Unlike the penguin shown here, I do not have any homing instincts, so I get a lot of use out of my Garmin GPS when I'm navigating around town or in a strange city. Since we got our Garmin GPS, we have come to depend on it for getting places much more quickly and easily, and I don't know how much time and anxiety it has saved us. We bought it online about three months ago and since that time, it has been a lifesaver when it comes to going to new places. We even use it when we go to places we are familiar with because it reminds us when we have to change lanes and how far we are from our turn. It gives us a gentle reminder and the nice thing about driving with a Garmin GPS onboard is that we can relax behind the wheel and converse with our passengers because we're not concerned with staying on top of where we are and how far our destination is away. The Garmin GPS units are perfect for space cadets like me, and I may not having built in homing radar, but with my GPS unit, I have the next best thing.
