So I am looking forward to our trip down to see Lynne and Joel next week. I've loaded a set of three files converted from Microsoft Streets and Maps into my pocket version. Now with the GPS on the dashboard, my iPaq will show exactly where we are along our journey. Imagine being able to accurate know one's location within three metres as one flies down the highway at 120 kph!
Even more amazing is the fact I could exit into any town and watch our progress on named streets in the unknown location. I can also toggle on or off 'Points of Interest' at will. These include places like rest stops, restaurants, and even hospitals. A quick connection with the web site downloaded all current highway construction information. We're ready to head out on Tuesday although I would've known where to go without any of the technology.
Out in the 'boonies' there's not much detailed information.
