GPS

[Prettymaid]

Yay! Good ol' Bridget gets to stay for the sentimental value!

Maybe I should name my GPS....

She still works but her back is chipped so she doesn't stay on the dashboard - I have to prop her up against where the ash tray used to be. If I take a curve too quickly, she goes flying.

Use some double-sided velcro. She won't budge.

I have friends who have Garmins and like them. I use the built-in app on my phone, but that doesn't work when there's no data signal, so it's not reliable. Of course, it's free, so I can't complain. Have you checked a site like cnet.com for reviews? I don't have a current subscription for Consumer Reports, so I can't offer to look there for you.

Oh I didn't think of Consumer Reports... my sister gets it...and I've never heard of cnet.com but will check it out. thanks..

Thanks for the tip! I'll be taking her to Atlanta, so I'll need to get that ASAP. Two weeks...

Glad to hear that Bridget will be around a while longer.

We have a Garmin but haven't had to use it much. It seemed to work pretty well when we did use it.

I'm thinking of getting a new one too - my old friend "Bridget" - the GPS I've had since 2006 - is looking a bit sickly nowadays. I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on this as well.

Nice to know that other people name theirs too! When I lived in LA, my best friend was a large, French speaking Haitian man... so I named his GPS "Petunia"... He's never really forgiven me.

Glad to hear Bridget is sticking around. She has never let us down on a couple journeys.

We have a Tom Tom and I've named it also... I call it "son of a b....." Does that tell you how I feel about Tom Tom?

[sodascouts]

Lol! I have a friend who calls Bridget "B***h" whenever she recalculates.

Sounds like us and our Tom Tom!

Oh, I think that they give you different names when you select a voice, don't they? Is that where you got Bridget, Soda?

[sodascouts]

No. I put mine on the British accent and named her Bridget in honor of Bridget Jones ' Diary!
