You just have to be amazed at the new GPS system. It is
approximately 8.5 inches by 3.5 inches and less than 1/4 of an inch
thick, but expands when required. I uses no power and can be easily
fitted into glove boxes or even coat pockets. When using it, it is
more like a game as one has to use some mental constructive
skills. Fantastically accurate and never issues wrong directions. I
think they are sold by Rand McNally at a fantastically low price -
Mind you they are not for idiots.
