Compass Or Trip Computer?

[aknaten]

Have not seen this discussed. I use a compass when driving in unfamiliar territory. If I get lost it helps getting oriented and back on track, especially on cloudy days. Here in the mid-west most roads go north-south-east-west. Could use a GPS but I'm old fashioned and like maps.

I realize that is not true everywhere. Once in Pennsylvania I was given directions like this: "Well, you take this road 'til you come to the old barn that burned down ten years ago, take a left at the old tree that ain't there nomore and keep going 'til you run out of pavement."

Personalize to your hearts content! I still say we need a one year reunion of Elio buyers to see what they've done to their vehicles. That would be fun. I'd drive a long way to attend that. Maybe the company would sponsor that. What advertisement that would be.

Actually, I am sort of fond of the very thought of being lost in my NEW ELIO!!

I have dreams with a commom theam. I have a long way to travel and my transportation situation is difficult. Last week I dreamed I was walking home from a distant city and got turned around, as I told my daughter about it, when I said I got out my I-phone to look at the compass, she almost passed out laughing! I guess I coulda called a cab instead.

lol, people used to use my parents old house as a landmark, "turn by the pink house."

It wasn't supposed to be a pink house, my father meant to buy tan paint, but he is the type of person that never ever returns anything and uses what he got.

As long as I can put this on the dash, I'll be fine...
