I used to think: "Why would anyone need a gps in a car?" Roads are generally clearly marked with distance and direction. You cannot easily deviate from a road. However, a couple of years ago I rented a Toyota Sienna from Hertz to drive to a wedding in Chico, Ca. The Sienna had an after market gps (marked Hertz). I used it and it worked great! Just enter in destination and whammo, a voice told you when, where and direction to turn and gave distance to the destination!. Very kool! I guess most of you guys are used to these things. Having grown up with 4 tracks and 8 tracks, this was kool to me.

I also read a study that women navigate different then men. Men use direction and distance (go west, 5 miles then turn north) where women use landmarks (go down to the 7-11 and turn left).
