Off on a 1.5 hour trip tomorrow with the new Garmin GPS navigator. Part one takes me 20 miles away to Halley’s place; I’ve never been in that neighborhood and it sounds like it’s a bit tricky to find. Then it’s on to Portsmouth, with Halley and Jackson, to a Dean meeting. So, this should be a good test.

I’m having trouble with the UI for requesting routes. When I do a text search for an address, three times out of three it’s told me that it doesn’t exist, although if I use the map zoomed in all the way, I can find them, and the system accepts them as valid waypoints. Odd.

BTW, Gary Turner writes amusingly (as always) about his own experiences with GPS navigation.
