<VV> Keyless entry/Cruise control

So do I.  But if I don't follow her directions, she simply says  
"Recalculating" instead of "You stupid idiot, I TOLD you to turn left at that  last 
light!!!!!".  That's how I know she's not a human female but just the  voice 
on my Garmin GPS.<GGGG>  The GPS can be a life  saver.  I remember picking up 
my friend at the Newark Airport in NJ and  getting distracted by her steady 
"yammering" so I missed one of the many signs  to get back on the major 
highway heading home.  As a result we ended up  somewhere in downtown Newark, 
the crime capital of northern NJ.  Not the  best place to be lost!!!  I 
simply turned on the Garmin GPS, pushed the  button that says destination "HOME" 
and successfully followed the British lady's  directions.
    I definitely recommend having the GPS ready even  when you're going 
someplace you already know.  Too many times you'll  encounter traffic jams or 
highway accidents and the police will detour you  onto local roads that you 
have no experience with.  Then  just turn on the GPS, put in the address of 
your destination and follow the  spoken directions.  I got detoured off of 
the NY State Thruway once  and used the GPS to get me to my destination.
    The big advantage to a portable GPS is that you can  move it from car 
to car and you can either take it with you or hide it under the  seat when 
you leave the car so it's not visible from the outside tempting  someone to 
break in and steal it.
