Using the Garmin GPS means I don't have to have multiple maps in my lap

I use to do the job of the Garmin gps. When my husband and I went on trips, he did most of the driving and I acted as navigator with various maps in my lap; sometimes I had two and even three maps laid out in my lap at the same time. Yes, in big cities, there were maps that only covered a small area, so I had two smaller area maps as we moved from one area to another, and then also a larger map to see where they lined up. And when you're talking multiple lanes of traffic going on, it wasn't always an ideal situation.

Life has gotten so much easier now. We type the destination in to the Garmin gps, and the let it do the navigating. What a blessing.

The model that we purchased was the Garmin nuvi 1200. Since then, there are new options. Voice directions are nice and they can be muted if you like. It's nice having a video display of the car and the roads.

Be sure to purchase the update package on the model you purchase, to keep current with new roads, etc. Before a trip, my husband will download the update so that we know the directions are the most up to date.

Purchase Custom Postcards Online

I have purchased a variety of custom postcards online from Zazzle, a print on demand (POD) company, and found them to be of great quality. With being able to customize them with party details right online, they were convenient and easy to personalize. I liked the print quality and would recommend them to others.

Custom postcards online can be purchased to share particular themes, be specialized for Save the date notices, serve as invitations, and so much more. Many can be easily personalized on template forms before placing your order. If there is no template form, you can also click on Customize to personalize them.

Postcards are a nice way to let others know that you are thinking of them.
