Finally, after pestering everyone here last year and then dropping it, and then obsessing again a few weeks ago, I bought a GPS unit, thinking it would solve the upside down map issue with SWMBO.
I freaking HATE the thing!!!! I've spent HOURS trying to figure out how to make a route with the PC software, more hours and hours trying to figure out how to make the stupid GPS unit do ANYTHING, and finally got the "simulator" up on the screen. Best I could do, so I mounted it and now ride around with the simulated screen on, so people will think I'm, like, totally hip and technogroovy.
I'm dying to get the nice lady inside it to say something to me, like "turn right," and know it's correct, unlike the nice lady who rides along behind me, who, when she says "turn right," there's at least a 50%, usually more like a 100%, chance I should turn "left." However, I hadda get the GPS because I asked, one time too many, "are you holding the map UPSIDE DOWN? Honey?"
So, if there's ever a GPS seminar, I'm there...the manual is worthless "turn power on." Great, I'm in Taiwan, according to the unit. No further instruction available.
