Are we there yet? Now that I have you in a road trip frame of mind imagine if you never had to worry about getting lost while driving again. GPS devices are hugely popular right now and the Garmin nuvi is one of our favorites.

You simply mount this little sucker to your vehicle’s dashboard, enter your current location and destination info and let the Garmin nuvi’s text to speech program talk you through your route. You’ll get turn by turn instructions as well as the option of a 2D or 3D map image displayed on the screen.

Just before this past Christmas my husband and I went on a weekend trip to do some Christmas shopping. We were in a different town that we hadn’t been to for many years and, despite my husband’s haughty denials, we got lost. To top it off we were searching for a restraint because we had two hungry kids in the backseat. If we’d just had one of these we could have looked up the town’s restraints, plugged in the address and been led to peace and quiet ages ago. Seriously, if you do a lot of traveling or just want to find quicker routes in your own city I highly recommend one of these. My husband doesn’t know it yet but he’s getting one next Christmas—if you see him, don’t tell him, OK?
