Testing my GPS
30 Mar 2010 |
|
Spent about three hours this afternoon, driving the backroads south east and south west of the city, to try out a small GPS unit that I bought yesterday - bought in desperation, hoping to give myself a little more confidence despite my driving phobia that I have battled for more than 30 years. I also have next to no sense of direction. This is a zoomed-in view towards the mountains south west of Calgary. The GPS was pretty good - I only got lost briefly once. The thing that complicates things is that some of the backroads have two numbers (street number as well as Range Road number, I think). At least the unit tells me just where I am at any given time, which is a huge concern of mine, LOL! Had to laugh - I had set the voice on British English, but soon changed it to American English, after the woman with the first accent completely mispronounced one of the city's main roads! And wildlife? WHAT wildlife??? And it was SO windy, I could barely hold my camera.
