Since we're talking about routes to the National, Mo getting lost,
and folks talking to their GPS's, I thought I'd ask about GPS's that
talk back...

Last show we went to, we drove the judge to the airport in a strange
town.  I was trying to navigate the old fashioned way using a map
when the judge whips out his nifty talking GPS.  I knew the address
of the airport, so he typed it in and the GPS *verbally* directed us
to the airport, telling of every turn ahead and giving warnings as
to how many feet ahead before we had to turn, etc.  Also, this GPS
could tell you where the nearest gas stations, hotels, and 
restaurants are located and how to get to them.

It felt kind of weird having somebody(something) know our every move,
but it was cool how you could drive and not have to look at a
traditional GPS or a map.  Or, depend on a not-so-great navigator in
the passenger seat.

I thought it was kinda nifty!  Has anyone bought one of these
gadgets?  If so, how do you like it?  And what brand did you buy?

Thanks in advance.

To make this dog related, I may need a GPS to navigate around Texas
when I go to the National.  I want to take in some sight-seeing, but
I don't want to get lost and miss any of the competition.
