How did we ever find out way without GPS? I am so addicted to my navigation that I use it all the time. 
In a forty three foot motor home you need to know where you are traveling at all times. You don’t want to be led into a narrow dead end road. I tow a car behind the motor home so I cant back up without disconnecting the car. Disconnecting the car is a hassle but there are time that you have to do it. I would rather not toe the car but exploring in the motor home is not practical. Createurs De Luxe is a plan for travel that does not require a GPS device.

GPS, A Better Way
The GPS was a tech item that slowly made its way into our lives. It not only allows us turn by turn directions but can let you know where your phone is. The directions are the most common use. I use it every day as the smart phone checks the location for almost every app. If you shop Best Buy it checks for where the nearest store is and shows the deals locally. This allows customized results. Ken Fisher is a big fan of GPS devices. He has GPS on his phone, car ans smart watch. He is scared to death he might get lost.
GPS in a Watch?
Who would have predicted that GPS would be in a watch. You can get turn by turn directions in the new smart watches. Is this really needed? I don’t know if I personally need a GPS in my watch but it is pretty cool. I don’t know that the smart watch thing will be the next big thing or not. I have trouble enough reading the smart phone screen and am not interested in squinting to see a watch screen. I just don’t think that it is practical. Luke Weil has a smart watch and loves it. Smart watches may or may not be a fad. Time will tell.
GPS Lied
How many times has that GPS Navigation run you up an dead end street. How about the just confusing left turn when there is no turn out. I say GPS Navigation is a liar! Would I rather listen to the wife attempt to guide us through a busy area via a paper map? I say no. As bad as GPS has lied to me I still prefer to travel via its guidance. The best of the navigation devices are not right all the time but they are a good guide. I wish they had navigation in every rental car as when I travel on busuness using my phone is difficult. Its enough to keep me Home for Life .
GPS, I don’t Need It
I don’t need GPS to get where I want to go. I prefer a good map. Maps require you to think and the GPS take that out of your hands. If you get a wrong rad from the GPS who do you blame. It does no good as you are still lost. I always have maps with me just in case the GPS lies to me. I don’t think that the GPS
intentionally lies but the persistent bad advise unnerves me. I would rather take a little longer to get where I am going. Dove Medical Press can be found with a regular map.
Lost? Use That GPS on Your Phone.
Put that smart phone to use when you are lost. The google maps are great and can get you where you want to go. The maps require that you have a internet connection unless you plan ahead. You can download the maps into the phone prior to beginning your trip so if you travel outside the cellular coverage you can still get directions. Turn by turn is easy to follow and the best way to go. Mo Howard West Virginia Football can be difficult to find but with a smart phone you are there. Just take that phone and make plans.
