My husband is fond of shopping and buying most of our things online and he gets this gadget at HSN.com. The good thing in buying online is there is no hassle of going out and it is delivered right at your doorstep. We already tried this GPS when we travel to Connecticut and it’s pretty good and easy to use. We don’t need to print the directions on the computer like we used to do. Once you start your car, plug it and open the map will appear on the small screen and verbally it will show and guide you the directions where you will turn or go from the start point to the end point based on the address that you set. The funny part is that he buys the product for me. He said that it is in preparation at the time that i decide to learn how to drive but as of now I am not interested yet because I am living in New York where all means of transportation is available. We are lucky to have taxis, buses, and trains that anytime we need we can go or might as well call unlike in other states that you really need to learn how to drive and have a car in order for you to reach your destination. Me if my hubby is not available I can call taxi that would take me to my destination.Or I will go to the bus/train station. Favor for me as I have nervous in driving. I just hope that one day I will have the guts to drive and that I will not feel nervous getting into the car where i will be the one on the drivers seat.
