Nancy, NB>My feelings as well... and I do go to AAA and get my maps from them, NB>sometimes also getting the TourBook(s) for the region(s) I'm visiting... NB>and I'll sit down with their advisors and plan out my trip, to get the NB>TripTik custom-made to my preferences... I also use their identity theft monitoring, along with one from Discover Card. I don't have a credit card anymore, but after being the victim of identity theft several years ago, one can't be too careful. NB>That can work, too... although it's not quite as flexible... Well, not having funding to travel makes it less flexible. NB>Perhaps not as much nowadays, with so many people having them now.... NB>kinda like the car radio, which used to be a prime target for thieves, NB>but now rarely is.... If the car "looks like crap", they're not as likely to steal it. I remember several years ago, in the Dallas area, there was a rash of car break-ins, thefts, etc. So, the police department rigged up these real nice cars into "rolling booby traps"...yet, they looked like nothing fancy had been done to them. They'd leave the vehicle in a high theft area, with keys in the ignition, unlocked, etc. baiting the thieves. On one TV show, Janice and I were watching it...and the cops were laughing like mad at the thieves actions. The cops let them have their fun for a time, then decided they'd had enough. They pressed a button, and the doors locked, the windows rolled up, the engine died, and as the car coasted to a stop, the radio blared the theme from COPS"..."What 'cha gonna do when they come for you??", as police cars pulled up around the vehicle. The thugs were dead to rights...caught in the act!! NB>So what was the GPS for, anyway, then....? Or am I still missing NB>something....? Usually it was for us to see where we were on the route. As we traveled from central to northwest Arkansas and back, it gave us updates on traffic, construction, detours (if needed, etc.). I now use the app from IDriveArkansas.Com -- both on the phone and the website...checking that before I go out. If I see traffic snarls, I avoid the area, or delay the trip.
