Four Ways To Have Fun With Your GPS Unit

Please check it out this list such as:

1. Hide one on your husband/wife when they go out with friends.

Even with a match made in heaven, you can have fun knowing just where they’ve been and how long they were at each stop along the way. The track back function on most GPS units will allow you to check on his whereabouts. So that when he tells you that he has to go out for a pack of cigarettes, you can ask why, what did you buy during your stop at the convenience store last night? If nothing else, it’ll really get him wondering if you only have eyes in the back of your head or do they extend everywhere. But be careful. This trick can work both ways.

2. When the kids ask ‘Are we there yet’, you can show them why the answer is no.

Who doesn’t need another way to entertain the kids on a trip of any length. Let them play around with the GPS. Chances are, they’ll understand how to program it better than you. They can tell you how long it is to your destination and maybe find a shorter route. With gas at $4.00 plus a gallon, let the rug rats start earning their keep earlier. After all, you can’t sell them off to the sweat shops at age six anymore. The authorities just have no sense of humor.

3. Mark the spot your spouse threw their wedding ring out the car window.

Even though you no longer have to be accused of being too stubborn to stop and ask for directions, you’ll still have plenty to fight about. Your GPS won’t help with money, parenting, in laws, yada yada yada. At some point your spouse will say ‘I don’t want to be married to you anymore’ and throw their ring out the car window. While you’re saying ‘Fine, I don’t want to be married to you either’ you can just reach to your GPS and mark the location of the act of spontaneous combustion. Then the next day after a wild night of making up you can go back, retrieve the symbol of your eternal devotion and be a hero. Or if the act did really turn out to be a good idea, you can pawn the thing and use the money to help pay your lawyer.

4. Mark the spot where you took that perfect picture.

If you’re a photographer you know that each picture is different. Subject, light, motion. None are static. You can mark your points that correspond to your photos on a GPS and revisit the location as often as you need. It won’t make all those variables align perfectly again for you, but it will take the guesswork out of at least one variable.

This is a list of just four ways that you can have fun with a GPS. Get one and start your own list. Happy GPS & Bye!
