As you know, Laura and I travel together A LOT! And as with most married couples there are often discussions in the car about silly things like directions and the best way to get here or there...For us traveling in new towns and cities these silly "discussions" can often lead to major disagreements!
So...last week I spent $200 and bought a portable Garmin GPS system for us to take on the road...simply plug in the address and "Gerty the Garmin" as we've named her will give you turn by turn directions, in her pleasant little voice. She will even tell you your expected arrival time...it's WONDERFUL!
Truly "Gerty" has saved our marriage from numerous unnecessary arguments! Now I just have to get past the fact that a WOMAN is still telling me how to DRIVE!
oh well :-)

our garmin is named "Nadine". she, too, has saved our marriage... and a TON of stress :)
I do believe you can change the voice from female to male...not sure but I think you would prefer a woman telling you how/where to drive than another male:)
Hi Laura and Jay,
Dan and I recently purchased one of these and we really like it. :o)
Don't you just love it when you don't follow Gerty's directions or miss a turn and she says in that patient voice, "recaculating." LOL
Did you guys get much snow? We got dumped on!
