A Car GPS Is Great, But The Surveys Are Exasperating
This writer once lived in the woods in Britain for over 3 years. Though I still listen to the radio from time to time, I tended to ignore the huge changes happening in the real world. I originally heard the alphabet soup term “GPS” while I was still living in America, but always in the field of an army or big law enforcement or rescue agency. If I heard about a automotive GPS in a radio adverts, I never knew what they were talking about, and didn’t care to discover.
Welcome (Back) To America
Moving back to America, I was in for a dreadful culture shock. I evaded watching TV as long as I could, but my mom ( who took her wayward kid in ) loved it, so that the TV was on all of the time. I would practically pound my head against the floor just because I could not understand the commercials. My mother had to explain to me what “bling” meant. That was a little bit humbling.
At the time, I took PC lessons and attempted to get my head together. I definitely needed a automotive GPS to figure out what I was doing. As a lark, I joined several online survey groups. I started getting free samples, and learned what an automobile GPS was. I did not have much of a choice I was getting 2 or three auto GPS surveys a week.
Back In The Saddle Again
I realized that instead of being annoyed by geeky lingo, automotive GPS dashboard mounted devices were helpful and simply understandable gizmos that would help improve the quality of life. Imagine if the kids of Israel had automobile GPS units strapped to their donkeys and camels.
They wouldn’t have wandered around in the desert for forty years. They would have found the best road to The promised Land before dinner.
Folks of my generation and younger get so easily lost because it is too dangerous to go anywhere. Whenever we plan a road trip, we need to permit at least three hours to get lost and then find our way again. Think of the waste of gas.
But with an automotive GPS unit, you don’t have to waste gas or time to get to your destination. I wonder how much gas is saved just by using automotive GPS units.
If I ever go back to the woods, I suspect I’ll take an automotive GPS device with me. Maybe then I could make better decisions about my life.
