Andy’s parents just got a GPS for their car, a TomThumb, I think.  I know my sister just purchased one on Black Friday.  Even though they knew where they were going, they used it to see how it works.  Andy set it up so the voice that speaks is Australian English-named Karen.  Well, it started to become a game when we would have Karen recalculate the route when we wouldn’t take a turn she wanted to.  I would so do that with a GPS.  I guess Chris, Andy’s brother, went to the grocery store with the GPS (American English-Jill) and the Jill wasn’t aware that there was a new bridge and thought Chris had driven into the water.   I think its actually quite helpful gift.  I can see why they were pushing them this year.  Plus a guy never has to leave the car for directions.  I would like this because I never know where I am when I am driving.  It helps find restaurants and movie theaters and so much more.  Plus theirs has a mp3 player. Andy doesn’t think we need one since he always knows where he is going.
