[pianotech] maps or GPS

[James Grebe]

Reading street signs in the dark is one of my problems also,  especially in 
rain.  New technology is to be embraced when it is beneficial.

I just got my first GPS--a Tomtom 325SE--on sale on black friday at 
Wal-Mart..  I love it!

  First jobs were at a school district in a city that I'm not very familiar 
with.   Six new schools to find my way to, in an unfamiliar area, with early 
winter darkness.  It wasn't perfect, but I could not have managed without 
it.  Especially with my vision, it's almost impossible for me to read street 
signs in the dark.  And to have to read small print on a map with every 
street a new one to me would have been torture.

I'm thankful to have it.  the lady in the box never criticized me when I 
managed to get lost, even with her help.  She just recalculated if I missed 
a turn and gave me new directions.
