In danger of losing your windmill?
Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.).
Anything to keep your windmill alive.
This thread will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

Pawpaw, WV to Baltimore
Germin routed me up over an extended length of remote WV mountains. Google would have taken a slightly longer and they claim faster route on a more main road. But no cell coverage so Garmin wins.
work
Tried to input the address of a client into the gps to get an idea how far away.
20 states
on the last leg of a 3 week, 20 state trip. Cannot beat having a quality GPS with multi-point saved routes!

Wrong way on one way street
... and I got caught. No ticket though, the officer realized I couldn't see the sign because a big truck was parked illegally in front of it.
Interestingly though, after she informed me I wasn't getting a ticket today the officer asked me if the GPS sent me up the street the wrong way. I wasn't navigating though at the time and told her that. I wonder if I would have gotten a ticket (for being stupid, lol) if I followed the GPS the wrong way???

Used the little Nuvi to...
find the place we were meeting friends for dinner last night. It was on the other side of town that we are not as familiar with. Took us right to the place, of course!
Moved
Sold our house in Iowa and moved to San Tan Valley AZ. Needed the Garmin to find where the stores were and the fastest way there.
back home.After unpacking the boxes k drove to LA and brought out grandchildren to AZ. After a week took them back to LA to get them ready for school.
Still need the Garmin to find places for nothing is in a straight line.

The Interlake of Manitoba
Spent ten days visiting family back in Manitoba, and specifically driving around the Interlake.
It's a beautiful area and slightly off the beaten path. If you mistakenly think that the Canadian Prairies is flat and treeless, check out the Interlake..
My Last Trip was...
Washington, DC to Dover, DE.
