GPS You Beauty!
Thank you GPS! After being initially sceptical, I have been completely won over by them. It’s a common joke that drivers that have sat nav systems have no idea how they work! This is just one of the reasons why I was unconvinced. Now, I don’t think I’d go anywhere without one; especially after the last weekend’s events. On Friday evening I found myself lost, which doesn’t usually bother me to be honest, but as time marched on I became more and more anxious. You see, I was on the verge of missing my father’s surprise birthday party.
Stupidly I wasn’t prepared. I had never made the drive to my parents, I used to rely on trains; stupid I know with British Rail’s timekeeping. So I found myself In Slough, I was supposed to be In Kent! I was agitated, which is not good when you’re behind a steering wheel. My mobile had no signal and my AA map had been the thing that had got me into this mess in the first place! Out of the corner of my eye I saw the bright neon lights of a supermarket, sat nav immediately came to mind. I pulled in and purchased one. It was simple to work and I arrived at my parents just in time to see the look on my Dad’s face.
This urban myth that sat navs are impossible to use, from my experience, is unfounded. I just switched the device on, typed in where I was going and it gave me clear understandable directions; it was as easy as that. Such is my fondness towards the sat nav I’ve named it Deidre. I’m not one to be caught up in new technology but I’m beginning to have a change of heart. What other car accessories have I yet to discover? Such is my poor sense of direction it could be time to invest in a vehicle tracking system!
