Subject:      GPS died
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

The other night after I stopped at the store my TomTom GPS stopped working. It wanted to reset from the very beginning. Language ,right hand/left hand, time, etc. It gets to the voice choice and gets hung up. Then starts all over again.

I didn't like the TomTom but I had it. It looked good in my Vanagon and was great for the speedometer if nothing else.

I'm going to replace it with a Garmin as I swore I'd never buy another TomTom.

I have maps & an atlas I keep in the bus but the GPS will be missed as I used it for the speedometer on my daily drives to work and back. The other thing about the GPS in my Westy is when I'm going to work and want to dream about doing something else I can plug in Key West and think about how the Vanagon is ready for the 54 hour drive.

I'm going to replace it, there are days where just sucks <g>.
