Automotive GPS Is Great, But The Surveys Are Exasperating

This writer once lived in the woods in Britain for over 3 years. Although I continue to listen to the radio from time to time, I tended to ignore the huge changes happening in real life. I originally heard the alphabet soup term "GPS" while I was still living in America, but always in the field of an army or big law enforcement or rescue agency. If I heard about a automotive GPS in a radio adverts, I never knew what they were talking about, and did not care to discover.

Welcome (Back) To America

Moving back to America, I was in for a severe culture shock. I avoided watching TV as long as I could, but my mum ( who took her wayward child in ) loved it, so that the TV was on all the time. I might practically pound my head against the floor simply because I could not understand the commercials. My mother had to help me understand what "bling" meant. That was a tad bit humbling.

At the time, I took PC lessons and tried to get my head together. I definitely required a automotive GPS to figure out what I was doing. As a lark, I joined several online survey groups. I started getting free samples, and learned what an automotive GPS was. I did not have much of a choice I was getting 2 or 3 automobile GPS surveys a week.

Back In The Saddle Again

I discovered that instead of being annoyed by geeky jargon, automobile GPS dashboard mounted devices were helpful and easily comprehensible gizmos that would help improve the standard of life. Imagine if the children of Israel had automotive GPS units strapped to their donkeys and camels.

They wouldn't have wandered around in the desert for 40 years. They would have found the best road to The promised Land before dinner.

Folks of my generation and younger get so easily lost because it is simply too dangerous to go anywhere. Whenever we plan a trip, we must allow at least three hours to get lost and then find our way again. Think about the waste of gas.

But with an automobile GPS unit, you do not have to waste gas or time to get to your destination. I speculate how much gas is saved just by using automotive GPS units.

If I ever go back to the woods, I believe I'll take an automotive GPS device with me. Maybe then I could make better calls about my life.
