This writer once lived in the woods in England for over three years. Though I still listen to the radio from time to time, I tended to ignore the massive changes happening in real life. I initially heard the alphabet soup term “GPS” while I was still living in America, but always in the area of an army or large law enforcement or rescue agency. If I heard about an automotive GPS in a radio adverts, I never knew what they were talking about, and didn’t care to discover.

Welcome (Back) To America

Moving back to America, I was in for a severe culture shock. I evaded watching TV as long as I could, but my mom ( who took her wayward kid in ) loved it, so that the TV was on all of 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 touch bit humbling.

At the time, I took PC lessons and attempted to get my head together. I certainly needed a car GPS to work 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 automotive GPS surveys a week.

Back In The Saddle Again

I realized that instead of being bothered by geeky language, automotive GPS dashboard mounted devices were helpful and simply comprehensible gadgets that could help improve the standard of life. Imagine if the children of Israel had automotive GPS units strapped to their mules and camels.

They would not have wandered around in the desert for forty years. They would’ve found the best road to The promised Land before dinner.

People of my generation and younger get so easily lost because it is simply too dangerous to go anywhere. Whenever we plan a road trip, we must allow at least 3 hours to get lost and then find our way again. Think of the waste of gas.

But with a GPS car tracking unit, you don’t have to waste gas or time to get to your destination. I wonder how much gas is saved just by using automobile GPS units.

If I go back to the woods, I believe I’ll take a car GPS device with me. Maybe then I could make better calls about my life.
