My family and I needed to go to San Francisco from San Diego. We decided to do some sight-seeing and rented a car. For a few extra dollars, they would install a GPS. It was not like our Garmin Dakota 10 but it did pretty well. We got a good deal on the car because we were going to rent it for a week and would even drop it off at the same place.
There are really some pretty good deals with car rentals. This is our first time to rent that’s why I was surprised with the good prices. I thought it would be prohibitive, but then thinking about it if it’s prohibitive then nobody would rent so it does make sense. I wonder why I never thought of that before. Renting a car while sight-seeing is a good way to see places.
When I was growing up, my father embodied the all-American dad archetype. He worked long hours at an automobile factory and took more pride in the front lawn than most actresses do their dental hygiene. Dadâs true character came to the fore during extended road trips to the Hoover Dam, a tourist destination we seemed to visit every summer. The mere thought of asking for directions along the highway would be enough to send him into apoplectic shock.
As a result, we kids would have to keep mum in the backseat, suppressing giggles while dad drove in incessant circles all over the American highway system. These days I wonder about all the time we could have saved with the help of a portable car GPS system. Dad could have avoided the embarrassment of asking for help at a service station, and we would have reached the dam much quicker.
For years, some men have rightfully prided themselves on an ability to find their destination without the help of navigational aids. Having a good sense of direction is important; it helps you to stay alert as a driver when youâre solving logical problems along the way. But what about those people who are not blessed with navigational skills? Should they be made to suffer in silence, too embarrassed to pull over and ask for directions?
In dash navigation is discreet as well as invaluable for the directionally disinclined. It takes all of the worry out of finding your way by selecting the appropriate turns and offering time-saving tips. In the end, youâll be glad that you surrendered your foolish pride and upgraded to a reliable system of navigation.
