As many of you know on the weekends I spend a LOT of time in my car from birthday parties, to playdates and throw in a few visits to my parents house. If you know me then you know I don't do well if I don't know we're I'm going, I actually act like a total girl and may even get frustrated and cry.
Case in point the birthday party of Cole's friend from school, no invitation was given just the location, I tried mapping it and writing on the back of whatever I could find in my purse. We set out, even called the parent "It's easy you won't miss it". Let's just say driving up and down the street, saying a few not so nice words under my breath, and maybe a tear or two. I was about to turn around and go home, but if I did then I would have to tell Rick who would nicely tell me you need to get GPS in the car. Instead of letting him know he's right I finally pulled over and asked someone. We won't mention the place was across the street from this gas station. UGH.
So yes I think it's time to admit I'm not good with directions, who the heck tells you to go North after so many miles! Yes that would be my husband again! I'm going to do it, get a GPS that tells me nicely when to turn and when I have arrived. No more calls to Rick who will say just go North for 1.4 miles! Just think of all the time I could save not driving in circles along with the gas and oh yes the tears.
One reason why I didn't get one before was I was only warned they just get out of date so it wasn't worth it. But now it's easy you head over to www.updateyourmap.com and with in a few minutes you can update your maps. The best part it's a bunch of drop down menus that make the process so much easier!
Treat yourself to a GPS system that will help you saving time and money in the long run. Along with your hair (no more pulling it out in frustration). Then make sure you save the NAVTEQ website www.updateyourmap.com to upgrade your maps. NAVTEQ is the company that is on most leading brand GPS systems, I bet if you check you'd find they are on yours or the one you want to buy.
Being stressed is bad enough, but getting lost just puts my stress level over the top!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. My husband got a system with his new phone and it's awesome too!
