Thank you Marsha. :-) We're going out to dinner with Bob, Ruth and
Evan to my favorite Italian place.

I'll pop in here to also wish Dalin a very Happy Day. Enjoy to the
fullest. Hugs, Bette
We're going out for dinner. But I'll be spending the afternoon -
unless I get too frustrated - trying to figure out the GPS he got me.
I did ask for it, but being technically challenged and impatient also,
I still haven't figured out how to put a destination in! I press the
button and enter the city, but then ..... well, eventually I'll figure
it out. LOL! I think there's a bunch of stuff I have to download
too.
Gee, I could have asked for a book. I hardly ever drive anyway. I
thought maybe I would drive more if I had directions to where I wanted
to go. LOL!
Dalin
What,it's 103 now?:)You are catching up with me! lol Happy Birthday!
Janie
Thanks Norma :-)

Oooo! Nice gift! I LOVE my GPS. Gradually, since I have had it,
I have expanded my horizons. I hope you also benefit greatly from
yours!

Happy Birthday Lady!! I understand GPS is a little confusing at first but
look at the many places you may go that you never would have without one.
:-) Be sure to take a camera.

How long did it take you to figure out all the options and make it
work? Gosh I even get my choice of what the maps look like. How do
I know which one I'll want? Then after I played around to select a
voice it said I may want a computer voice as that is the one that
works with traffic alerts. Hmmmm...
Dalin
That's what I'm hoping for. Knowing me I'll probably get lost anyway!
LOL!
Dalin
Happy Birthday!

Yea,but you get better with age.:)

I'm not sure I have all the options figured out yet. How do you know which
one you'll want? Select one and try it for a while. I started out using
mine to go places I already know how to get to, so I'd get the feel of it.
Mine doesn't give me traffic alerts, but I usually have the car radio on a
station that gives traffic reports every 10 minutes. I do use a computer
voice, because that's the one that gives the names of the streets.
Joy
I prefer having the map oriented like the car is too, although I seldom look
at it when I'm driving. I used to check out my route with a map, or print
directions from Mapquest as a backup, but I haven't been doing that lately.
One thing I learned recently, though, is to write down the address if I've
never been there before. My TomTom tells me, "You have reached your
destination" when I turn onto the street where my destination is located.
If it's some way down the street and I keep driving, it will say something
like, "In 200 feet, you have reached your destination." I had put the
person's name in my favorites instead of the address, so the address didn't
show. I had to guess at the house. Luckily I guessed right.
Joy
Lou
Thanks Lou. :-) We just got back from dinner and I'm playing with
it. It helps a lot to have downloaded the manual!
Dalin
The next most important thing is to call it anything except "home"!
Then if they steal your car, they can't find their way easily to your
house and clean it out...
I name mine "Police". :-)
Of course if you always remove it from your car and carry it with you,
it doesn't matter.

Remove "invalid" to reply
The first thing my instruction book said was never to leave it in the car,
so I don't.
Joy
And don't forget to erase the suction cup marks on the
windshield. That tells the crooks you have one too....
Heard that on the news.
Happy Birthday Dalin
Hope the dinner was yummy!
Have a great year...
Cheers!
Annie-SF
I couldn't get the suction cup to stick, so I don't use it. I just lay the
GPS on the seat beside me.
Joy

Hi Annie! Long time no hear from. How are you doing?
Joy
My Garmin is so simple to operate that it needs no manual. It's
self-instructing.
That has to be one of the dumbest ideas I've seen in weeks. Are there any
more at home like you?
It also said not to leave the mount or they could break into your car
thinking you had hidden it inside somewhere. David ordered a beanbag
holder for me that just sits on the dash, and you can take the whole
thing and slide it under your seat when you get out of the car.
Dalin
Thank you Annie. :-)
Dalin
Mine had a guided tour when I first turned it on and it is pretty
simple but it didn't explain how to get the signal. And I couldn't
find it on their website either, but David found a general url for GPS
devices and that told how.
Dalin
Even if you remove the mount, it leaves circle marks on the windshield and
if you don't remove them, thieves know what made the marks and are liable to
break in your car looking for the GPS.

Waiters, they had waiters? All I noticed was the tall, fair haired,
handsome date I had. :-) And in case you haven't figured that out -
it was you. <vbg>

My walking partner Jean has found a place in the centre console of her
Focus where she keeps hers during use.
Same here. It has a BIG screen, which I would hate to do without.

Mine only has a very basic diagrammatic indication on the screen, and no
map, but I never look at the screen when driving!
I can select on-screen step by step set of instructions to my
destination, naming each road, but I find the spoken instructions are
easier and safer to use..
I toss mine on the floor of the back seat. I'm less worried about theft
than I am about sun damage. Few people try to break into Corollas because
of their anti-theft system.
better late than neva!
Happy "late" Birthday Dalin!
bet you are the life of any party you have
or are thrown ! ;)....Jo
Sorry to be late, I was offline for a while in London at our
daughter's wedding. Anyway a big happy birthday Dalin and many more.
Judith
Thanks Jo. I don't do lampshades though! <g>
Dalin
Thanks Judith. :-) Now tell us about the wedding and did you get
tears on your silk frock?
Dalin
Happy Belated Birthday Dalin.
Robert
Thank you Robert. :-)
