We rented a car with GPS in Europe. It was great!!! Could not have found our hotels in the cities without it. It spoke in kilometers though. Prepare to turn right in 2 kilometers or turn right in 500 meters. It wasn't hard to judge though.

The only problem we had was needing to program for fastest route rather than shortest. Shortest in some old cities took you down some extremely narrow streets rather than the main ones.

Sounds like a GPS could be great fun. Pick a dull Sunday afternoon and play 'try to stump the GPS' LOLOL

LOL! Leave it to you to think of that, Janet.

I did! When I first programmed it, I made a mistaker and didn't follow it's directions.
It kept recalculating and trying to get me to go where it wanted. It might have turned on me (like in the movie 2001) "Dave...." so I reprogrammed it.
