I've been offline for a few days so I missed this one.
O.T. but
I work as a service dispatcher, ten road techs, NE & NY.
Do I have your permission to print your post, copy it 100x and plaster it all over the inside of every van?
PLEASE?
I can send the same person to the same place five days in a row and they STILL need the exact address. Five days in a row.
A year and a half with the GPS and they no longer possess the ability to even find their way home without it.
