[Shop-talk] gps to find the shop

[Scott Hall]

John,

1) Smartphone.  If you've got an Android or Blackberry, get the Google 
Maps app for it.  I don't use a standalone GPS unit any more.

2) Barring that, I'll go home and get the model number off ours, which 
we bought at Thanksgiving for my mom before she said she already had 
one.  It works fine, and I have to think at this point virtually 
anything from Tomtom or Magellan (or the other Big Name I'm forgetting 
right now...Garmin!  That's it!) will have to do just fine.  Our was $75 
on sale, works great.  Think it's a Tomtom.
