GPS Backup

If the GPS fails, rely on the Hula Dancer.

Cool this is now on Engadget. I read them a lot.

Thanks Terry and Tom.
It isn't my car. I was riding in the back seat. LOL! I guess I have been demoted now. :-)

recalculating! recalculating.

That was my first experience with GPS. This is so much better than my hula girl shots.

Jimmy_Joe says:

LOL! Yeah, you got the full GPS experience. "When possible, make a legal u-turn". I get that one a lot too. Thanks!

Terry, I am still locked into a contract with T-Modile so I can't get an iPhone yet. Does google maps work as well as it appears? That is cool!

haha! i recognize that hula-girl! so glad the sun was not directly behind her... nobody wants to see what's under that grass skirt ;-)

too bad that gps doesn't have a collision warning system... that would come in really handy

Jimmy_Joe says:

cj - You are right! I forgot about you lifting up her skirt. That was a scary sight.

Terry - not bragging at all. ;-) Are you kidding, if I had one I don't think I would shut up about it for at least a month. But T-Mobile has me hostage for now.

Trailmix.Net - Glad you could use it. Looks like a neat blog. I will check it out more when I get the chance. GPSs are cool.

cj - I would be embarrassed if I was you. Look at that filth. ;-)

Hey,that's cool. We just got back from a trip where we used the old GPS you gave us.
We have a new name for her, but this being a family site, it's not appropriate.

I know this view! Congrats Jimmy!
It's not so much what's under her skirt that scares me, as much as when cj's Garmin decides to go all "Blair Witch" on us.
(off the highway and onto a dirt road in the woods, at night ;~)

I'm so scared

And I can't believe we didn't buy a ham while we were in Smithfield. What were we thinking???
