Me too. I print out step by step directions from Google(or Yahoo!) maps and take them with me.

Heads lights that turn off after you have left the vehicle. I guess people are to lazy to flip a switch.

I'm going to say airbags.

Or maybe the twilight sentinel option.

You have obviously never been on the road for 4 days and had to find the WalMart and a place to sleep in Haughton, MI at 6PM. My GPS has been a lifesaver. I do however find I always know where I'm going, not necessarily where I am.

I'm going to agree on airbags. I've seen them do more harm than good. They can actually decapitate.

I have a Garmin and she's good to have sometimes but that lady tries to send me on crazy route's sometimes. It seems like she always wants me to go on a dirt road or make a circle. And heaven forbid you don't take her route, she'll get an attitude with you....UGH RECALCULATING.

I have a Garmin also. Believe it or not I've been on the road long enough that I start to enjoy talking back to her. It beats driving alone. I've even lost arguments.

Mine turn off with the ignition switch.....No more dead batteries, and I love the electric windows. I also have heated mirrors which are mostly useless in this climate.
