GPS Mapping Software Rocks

Well, I got a GPS toy for Xmas, but I had to wait a couple weeks until the Europe mapping software came in - it was worth the wait. Basically every single podunk street in Europe is on this software, which means I can basically never get lost. I just need to tell it where I want to go, and then it gives me directions based on where it knows I'm at already.

There is a slight problem though that we discovered on the way to someone's place for dinner . . . the GPS doesn't work if you run out of batteries. But other than that, it's pretty freakin' cool.

We used it on our last weekend trip, and we were able to go directly to the most obscure addresses without any wrong turns.
