A GPS system has greatly improved my odds of getting to the right place. It is helpful when traveling beyond one's ‘comfort zone.’ For example, getting from point A to point B in Waukesha has always been a challenge. For years, my subconscious voice has said, “You’re going to get lost” – and I invariably have.
A recent trip to Waukesha was more pleasant – thanks to the GPS. But its directions to WalMart led me to Sam’s Club (on 164).
Recent trips to Franklin, Hales Corners, Milwaukee’s lake front and Menomonee Falls have been more interesting because of the GPS. I have found myself traveling on roads less traveled. I was amazed to find a more efficient route to Hales Corners, and a more scenic route to Milwaukee’s lake front.
Now that I have an assistive device, perhaps I will venture across the state line.
