But we're still not as bad as my brother, who uses a Thomas Guide.

Also, it has been known to tell us to drive on the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD, so it really can't be trusted. <br />Our 1998 Atlas and/or Google Maps, partially memorized, is our back-up system. That's right, we're not quite Luddites.

My Garmin does not, but the Garmin I bought hubby does. The difference in price was less than $20 (mine was cheaper), map updates cost over $50 last time I checked. Hubby's GPS lives in the van, mine stays in the car, as we know how to get to work and back. ;)<br />mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-76688204363833727202013-08-12T06:20:24.045-04:002013-08-12T06:20:24.045-04:00Mapquest sure is old school, but at least he doesn...Mapquest sure is old school, but at least he doesn't use those old AAA triptiks.Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-26614558245094507062013-08-11T21:44:03.886-04:002013-08-11T21:44:03.886-04:00Those of us who still don't have smart phones,...Those of us who still don't have smart phones, of course!Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-36141411345470387312013-08-11T20:58:05.514-04:002013-08-11T20:58:05.514-04:00I loved my GPS while living in England.

The newest version talks to me. We used it through 4 states on the big college road trip and it didn't get us lost once. Although we did end up on a lot of scenic little highways in PA.<br /><br />Have a great trip and enjoy the new camera! smalltownmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857871195417461235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-26400673391634158132013-08-11T14:38:49.353-04:002013-08-11T14:38:49.353-04:00I just use my phone for everything now.
