GPS: Easy travel

In countless years of travel, our road trip from Syracuse to Ithaca, New York and then to Niagara Falls and back, was the first time when we didn’t have to open up a map and frantically check our directions. Except for the few instances when we second-guessed the verbal admonitions of the device or when we couldn’t pick a minute detail off the small screen, we never got lost. The only challenge is that someone must program the device for it to work. The ancient computer adage still hold true today: “Garbage in, garbage out” or better yet: “If nothing is programmed, we’re not going anywhere!”
