Driving adventures

I seem to spent some time in the last while driving to new places - both in Ottawa and in the countryside.

I really do need to buy some new maps - mine are getting a little tired and torn from overuse.

I often use Google maps to figure out my driving directions. Recently I did this and the directions said turn this way and then drive for 10 minutes or so. However I did not make the turn. I wondered why I got lost. Fortunately I had a passenger who helped me out.

A friend who drives often in the country for her work says this is always challenging.

When I bought my house, my real estate agent had some trouble with driving directions. She was fortunate when she was driving a client who could help her out.

I have quite a good sense of direction. My dad did too. He could to a place once and then find it again.

Some of my friends have bought GPS units. I do no think that it is on my shopping list in the near future.
