Pizza Delivery in the City
While I was attending college, pizza delivery guy was one of my many jobs. Thankfully I’m better off now that I’ve graduated, but while I was delivering pizzas, I never would have survived without my iFinder GPS. The iFinder helped me find all those obscure locations around the city, and navigate to them through the one way streets, five street intersections, and endless alleys. There are some deliveries I know I would have never been able to make without the assistance of my GPS.
Even after I stopped delivering pizzas (thankfully!), I’ve gotten a lot of use out of my GPS. I still use it to navigate the city; even if I know the general location of where I’m going, it’s just so convenient to have something give you step by step instructions. I’ve also found that the GPS helps a lot when it comes to traffic. I know when I have to merge or when a turn is coming up, and when to stay in the lane that is actually moving.
The GPS Revolution
Everyone I know keeps talking about these GPS things. In fact, some people even claim to have them in their cell phones! As someone who travels a lot and is frequently lost I thought it might be wise to finally pick one of these up for myself. I was right! Since I got this I haven’t had to stop and ask directions at shady gas stations or seedy stores. It’s just me and the Pioneer AVIC-Z1 all the way to my destination.
The price really surprised me. I guess I haven’t really looked at these in a couple of years and unit like this would have cost close to a thousand bucks or more when I first checked them out. It’s nice to see technology becoming affordable. When newer stuff is cost prohibitive I tend to hold off.
