Renting a Car

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.

Running for a Cause

Most of my friends are now getting into running for a cause. At first, it seemed to me like another superficial means of trying to increase awareness and support for these causes. I found myself disliking the idea of using such profound causes in dubious means. Later on, I changed my mind. They are able to get support and help these causes while getting a workout! That’s three in one and that is not bad! You get benefits for yourself because you become healthier and stronger. Your cause is publicized and gets support from registration fees and other means. The funds sent and received are used for further advancement of the cause.

Running for a cause entails discipline and training that is why many of my friends have recently purchased the the Garmin Forerunner. It is a Sports Watch range made by Garmin. Most models use the Global Positioning System (GPS), and are targeted at road runners and triathletes. The GPS models are designed as an accurate method of measuring distance, speed, heart rate (optional), time, altitude, and pace, all of which can be important to athletes in training for races. Either for creating logs, or for navigating new workouts. I’m serously thinking of joining them next time, if not for the health benefits maybe just so I have an excuse to get the Garmin Forerunner.

Mapping a Bike Route

bicycle-gpsThe Tour de France represents the pinnacle of competitive bicycle racing; it takes place over a three-week stretch each July and has been known to cover more than 3,500 kilometers of French real estate. Each participating team undertakes a dogged search to find new technological advantages – whatever will give them a leg up on the competition. This year’s tour has already begun, and many teams have explored GPS tracking to get a better feel for the race course.

Garmin, a GPS device pioneer that also sponsors a tour team, supports its racers by outfitting them with bicycle GPS devices that provide details about the course ahead. Casual bike riders can use the same technology to plot out specific routes well in advance. If it’s good enough for professional riders, GPS assistance can surely benefit everyday cyclists as well.
