And Zenobia saying things like "Turn left on a street, then turn right." But I do want one now! <BR/><BR/>I'm off to visit Kitty next weekend and am borrowing my dad's GPS.

ONE highway change! So easy I just glanced at a map and walked out the door assured that I knew how to get there. Zenobia was tested on a route so tricky that armed with detailed maps and directions, we still got lost every time we drove it. It simply is not a fair comparison. And by the way, I think you need to list Garmin among your idols in the Siesta Study...Prairie Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470135432748627058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875449047910840041.post-50918328102325852572008-07-29T00:49:00.000-04:002008-07-29T00:49:00.000-04:00We just got a Magellan.

My Dad wasn't thrilled when we told it to take the shortest route to the bank and it took him my way rather than his, but I think that's show the systems intelligence. :) We're liking that it tells which side to exit the freeway on 2 miles away. We've had trouble with misleading signs and frantically cutting across several lanes of traffice with a 32 foot trailer isn't fun, so hopefully Maggie helps. Now to get someone to realize they need to note which diesel stations are RV friendly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875449047910840041.post-15951015897855423612008-07-28T15:25:00.000-04:002008-07-28T15:25:00.000-04:00Sorry about the migraine.

Same with the way home. Props for Garmin!!<BR/><BR/>As for Zenobia I'd definitely be returning her!! She doesn't deserve your loyalty.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07377281769733343491noreply@blogger.com
