[gps-talkusers] Re: V3 and look-around/pois

Charles, it was interesting in Hawaii when I was trying to look around
Honolulu and the swishing sound occurred, my Sister who was not the least
bit thrilled at my having this "New expensive toy" was getting all bent out
of shape saying I broke it. Well I told her that everything was just fine
that the gps was just trying to keep up with her led foot.
We actually sailed into a tight parking place at 40 mph.
Another thing which happened was we were hotrodding downa one-way street the
wrong way and when this was pointed out to my sister, she simply slammed the
car in reverse and drove the right way backwards.
Now the poor gps didn't know what to do at first but very quickly it figured
out what this nut of a Sister was doing.
