I use Google Earth on my home computer, zoom in and out to see where the traffic goes, and then anshallah it off to my destination by memory and positive attitude. Usually the main flow of traffic, and there is always traffic, indicates the primary routes. All else fails, the compass will get me to the Nile, and up or down that will find me a landmark. One day it will be me singing that Map song!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-55011589993852576552008-08-25T23:28:00.000+02:002008-08-25T23:28:00.000+02:00Glad you made your way back although having you in...Glad you made your way back although having you in Berlin longer would not have been such a bad thing! <BR/><BR/>I am also glad to hear you have map skills.

That's why I print out mapquest (there AND back) before I leave for a trip I've never been on before, even with our GPS! <BR/><BR/>Maybe I could use a lesson from Dora? ;o)AmyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316872759420805485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-64995075417403396122008-08-25T14:34:00.000+02:002008-08-25T14:34:00.000+02:00For future reference...You GPS system probably has...For future reference...<BR/><BR/>You GPS system probably has a reset button on it somewhere.

It seemed a rather logical thing considering his love of all things orderly.

Our TomTom constantly has trouble finding the GPS signal (and this is our second one our first having been stolen).<BR/>My old car had a built in navi and I never had a problem with that one.<BR/>I'm glad you made it safely home. I don't think I could do the map thing, I'm just not good at it :)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342109839956458589noreply@blogger.com
