My GPS

Especially in new cities, I have the darnest ability to get lost. So I purchased a GPS unit after moving to Philadelphia. I use it to navigate to places in Philly, as well as on trips to find "places of interest" (museums, hotels, restaurants, and dessert places). It even provides phone numbers (so you can call the hotel to find out if they have a vacancy, for example).

It does have its faults, sometimes recommending travel the wrong way on a one way street or navigating to the wrong place, but overall it's been very helpful. And when it's wrong, it's a great excuse to be late. :-)
