So recently we bought a far too expensive bed at a local furniture store. Our old bed was beyond dead and was giving us both backaches every night. With our exorbitant purchase, however, we apparently qualified for a free GPS.
Today I got to pick it up. It's a ViaMichelin X-970. I've only had it out of the box for a couple of hours to let it charge up here at work, but so far it seems fairly cool. I've only actually seen two GPS' up close before this so I'm not sure how it rates overall, but for free I can't complain can I?
It's probably going to live in the wife's car once we get it all figured out, since she's (self admittedly) "directionally challenged."
As expected though, it can't seem to verify our street address since we live almost a 1/4 mile off the main road on a dirt side road. Apparently, according to the civilized world, we don't exist. Which doesn't surprise me since we can't even get real high speed internet or cable TV.

Sweet Tim.
ReplyDeleteI've got GPS on my Touch Pro phone and can't believe how often it comes in handy...and I thought I knew where I was going all the time...apparently I didn't always know!
They are pretty cool. But here's a funny update. Steph left the thing in her car overnight and almost killed it on the first day!! LOL
ReplyDeleteLuckily I was able to get it thawed out and reset so the screen worked again, but that was a close one!
