Car compass

Last week on the way to downtown I found my main east/west road was closed. Trying to avoid a two mile drive to and from the next e/w main road I ducked into the residential area nearby. This is a dry agricultural area so there are lots of irrigation ditches and I kept getting blocked by them. Quickly became lost. Finally ended up on the next main road I was trying to avoid driving to but with many side trips on the way. sigh I had wished I had a compass. Can you still put one in the car? There used to be many more places to fasten one around the windshield than nowdays on a modern car. Like others have said, the base model Nuvi GPS will run you about $90. Compasses are great if you're on a dirt bike and don't mind riding through backyards, jumping ditches, and otherwise bee-lining. Get into one of those subdivisions with all the cul-de-sacs and they won't do you any good. Then there are the other little annoyances like rivers, canyons, freeways, and Walmarts in your line of travel. |
