GPS

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Okay, here comes another post that is not about music, dance, or theater.  But since we’re supposed to write about technology, all I can think of is the GPS that my husband recently bought for his car.  He’s a salesman, and he does LOTS of driving, so it makes sense for him to have one.  But he’s also got an amazing sense of direction.  He only has to go somewhere once in his life and he can find it forever.  Me, I get lost going from my living room to my kitchen.  So why can’t I have a GPS, too?  It would be a whole lot neater than the 3×5 cards with directions written on them that are strewn all over my car.

True confessions: although I’m a member of the über-cool UR Tech Team, I’ve never used Flickr before.  This past weekend, I posted my first and only photo:

What I really like is the map feature, in which you can drop your photos on a map of the world to indicate where they were taken.  I got lost on the streets of Turin a couple of times, but finally found the appropriate location to place my mark.
