Automotive GPS Is Great, But The Surveys Are Annoying

This writer once lived in the woods in Britain for over three years. Though I still listen to the radio from time to time, I tended to ignore the vast changes going on in the real world. I initially heard the alphabet soup term “GPS” while I was still living in America, but always in the context of an army or massive law enforcement or rescue agency. If I heard about a automotive GPS in a radio advertisements, I never knew what they were talking about, and did not care to find out.

Welcome (Back) To America

Moving back to America, I was in for a grim culture shock. I avoided watching television so long as I could, but my mom ( who took her wayward child in ) loved it, so the TV was on all of the time. I would practically pound my head against the floor simply because I couldn’t understand the commercials. My Mom had to give me an explanation what “bling” meant. That was a little bit humbling.

At the time, I took computer lessons and tried to get my head together. I certainly needed a automotive GPS to work out what I was doing. As a lark, I joined several online survey groups. I started getting free samples, and learned what an automobile GPS was. I didn’t have much of a choice I was getting two or 3 automotive GPS surveys a week.

Back In The Saddle Again

I found out that instead of being bothered by geeky jargon, auto GPS dashboard mounted devices were useful and simply comprehensible gadgetry that could help improve the quality of life. Imagine if the youngsters of Israel had automotive GPS units strapped to their mules and camels.

They wouldn’t have wandered around in the desert for forty years. They would’ve found the best route to The promised Land before dinner.

People of my generation and younger get so easily lost because it is simply too dangerous to go anywhere. Whenever we plan a road trip, we have to permit at least 3 hours to get lost and then find our way again. Think of the waste of gas.

But with an automotive GPS unit, you don’t have to waste gas or time to get to your destination. I speculate how much gas is saved just by using automobile GPS units.

If I return to the woods, I believe I’ll take a car GPS device with me. Maybe then I could make better choices about my life.
