CLUELESS
I know that Garmin is located here in OLathe, KS about 7 miles from my house. I'm sure that they have refurbished units. geocaching??? may have to look that up. Seems that being raised on a farm, then going through Navigation school in the Navy and teaching Navigation in the Gaoast Guard Aux...I get confused about my locatin when I'm extremely tired like being awake fo r54 hours straight,,,but I'm never lost, shadows, fog, trees, many resources like mountains etc give you clues as to your whereabouts and direction of travel...daylight is great because you can see an actual bowl upside down over a city, and clouds, smoke... smells, even debris in it's smallest forms. I'd love to be out in oregon and Washington again for a week or so and live with my backpack...or perhaps Mass, Maine, PA, KY somehere where it is nice and peaceful...The desert is great and even there you can't get completely lost...I think that (personally) GPS is a great thing for people that want to get someplace directly and don't want to spend time looking, learning about the environment around them to solve their solution...sorry for being negative...but it is positive if you believe in yourself and your abilities. IF you need to find the heart of a city and you're 200 miles away, then I suppose it has it's immediate gratification of knowing...advantages of what streets to turn on whre you can make shortcuts on highways, how to get across country...how to get on a street address when the streets don't go thorough, city uses I could definately use one for those reasons. Getting lost...not likely to happen for some of us...
