GPS

[Guest guest]

Sher,

I have Verizon and I have GPS on my phone. The Verizon gps program is called VZnavigator and it's excellent!

"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more."

Bruce ... well I just learned something else new. I didn't even know GPS was available on a cell phone.

I bought Rich a GPS for Christmas. I'd much rather have one on a cell. I'll have to call today and inquire.

Thanks.

JeaneAfter my illnesses a couple of years ago my sense of direction andconcentration on routes changed. Prior I had been able to go anywhereand never get lost. However, my cell phone is Sprint and I have GPS onit (free in my plan, $10 or so in some). It's such a relief to know thatwherever I am, I can always just pull up where I want to be and getdirections. Also, comes in handy just when out and we suddenly decide tolook for something. Do a search, find it, find directions. Of coursethere are many GPS systems for your car, but I like this because even insomeone else's car its with me plus the price. It sure makes travelingand exploring a lot less stressful.>
