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.

Get a GPS and you get directions and a compass.


Or if you have even a simple mobile phone you can get a free app that
provides compass functionality. Of course most of the smarter phones will
have GPS too but if you just want to know what direction you are pointed...
