Lost no Longer! Thank you Garmin!

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

On the way back from a Brewer’s game the other week, I found myself turned around in the Wisconsin wilderness. After driving around forever, and doubling the time it should have taken to get back home, we searched for a gas station that was still open in the middle of the night (hey, it’s Wisconsin) and finally found a friendly older man to help guide us to Highway 59. If you’ve ever been completely lost, you know the frustration and fear that I was feeling - and how great it would be to never feel like that again. Enter Garmin. With top of the line GPS devices that will suit whatever your need is, “lost” will be a thing of the past.

This is more than a GPS, as the 550 comes with full Bluetooth capability, so you can talk on the phone safely, while driving, without removing your gloves or helmet.
