garmin gps


At least faster for me anyway! My husband likes to tease me a lot about my navigation skills. I have to admit that I wish I had a Garmin GPS when we first got married. It would have saved us a lot of aggravation and time. Especially on our first anniversary. I had always wanted to see Yellowstone National Park. As we talked about what were would do for our first anniversary, I brought up a trip to Yellowstone. He was excited about the idea until I said we could take our time and drive there. I thought it would be nice to see some of the US and just be together on the road. A lot of our friends told us to get a Garmin GPS, but I didn't think we needed to.

The trip was full of fun and adventure all right. When ever it was my turn to drive I took so many wrong turns, bad roads, and drove hundreds of miles out of our way that we could have gone back and forth through the country several times! Looking back on our little, turned large, trip a Garmin GPS would have been very helpful. Last month we had our fifth anniversary. I wanted to do something extra special so I decided to rent an RV and take a three week trip around the country. When I brought it up to my husband he said it was great, but then headed to the computer. I was a little confused so I asked what he was doing. "Buying you a Garmin GPS!" I think I must have turned sixteen shades of red.

He started his search online and one of the results was for a website called Love's Electronics. It was at located at www.loveselectronics.com/ and I saw right away they had a lot of different Garmin GPS devices. After looking at most of them, and reading several reviews we chose one that would work for us; or rather for me.

We bought a Garmin eTrex Legend HCx Portable Navigator. It gave voice directions for each turn and told us when we were getting close. This would be perfect for me! Since our anniversary was a few weeks away I was able to work with the Garmin GPS once it arrived. Our anniversary was a lot of fun. I rented an RV and put the Garmin GPS in it with our destination already set into it. Each step of the way the voice commands told me exactly where to go. There were a few times when I got confused because of the traffic, but the Garmin GPS got us back on track. I am thankful for Love's Electronics and the Garmin GPS. Our trip was much faster and much less stressful.
