Hekko, MaryEllen,
Well, you seem to be having so much good luck with your GPS system, while I
can't seem to even get mine working at all.
Good luck
Dick

Good morning, all!
Well, this morning, Peg and I were out before sunrise pounding the pavements
and there was just a hint of a breeze stirring off of the desert. We did the
route which Seeing Eye mapped out for us but instead of going to the left at
one funny angeled driveway, I had Peggy go straight and realized uh oh, we
were in one of the mega apartment complex's parking lots. I determined to
keep going to see where we would end up. I set the gps to repeat the
intersection and simply followed what it was telling me. We ended up going
across about 3 lots before we came out onto the intersection.
Well what was so important about this discovery was there was no panic no
yelling at the dog, just a smooth walking and hupping her to keep on going
straight. We had to make a right and cross the street to get on the proper
side of the street but I really praised my dog for her calmness and
willingness to do what this crazy woman who owns her says to do.
Anyway as I was rounding the bend to come home I met up with a couple who
said they had watched us from a distance and were secretly worrying that it
would be 9 o'clock or after when I would find my way out of those lots. I
showed them the gps and told them how it has gotten us home on more than one
occasion.
So that is it for now.
But I think and probably the really experienced gps users can back me up on
this that the more you get yourself lost the better because you learn to
trust yourself first and theyour dog or cane secondly and the gps thirdly.
I know one thing, I'm not there yet but I'm sure getting there.
