Oh I believe you alright. I got lost driving to Cleveland from Chicago. This should be completely impossible. hop on the toll road. Go all the way to Cleveland. Cleveland signs start IN Chicago. I still don't know how I managed to get lost.

The GPS is already in my price range because all I need is a receiver and the software - - no display or anything like that. I'm installing a pentium computer in my car, which will handle the GPS. i'm waiting until I get another CRX, though, because mine's all rusty :P

You're right about getting lost though. I've found some of my favorite places when I was totally lost. . . However, the drive to cleveland had to be done in the span of 2 days (that's St. Paul to Cleveland and back in 2 days) so I really didn't have time to be lost :)


By the way, the mapper I used to find the info for you was at http://www.mapquest.com

Nice little site. Very detailed maps. The driving directions can get a little fuzzy in cities tho. . Only trust them for getting from city to city, not inner city.
