I Liked the Nuvi, Now I LOVE the Nuvi!

July 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Seldom does technology break through from “neat” to “WOW” for me. Well, as I noted earlier, I’ve been testing a Garmin Nuvi for a few days. I just discovered this:

If you type in “liquor” it finds the five or six closest liquor stores. That just plain rocks. Clearly, it’s not that useful in your hometown, but last weekend in Overland Park, Kansas, this feature was AMAZING. The Nuvi found me great wine, so I fell in love! I was driving around like I lived there!

The Nuvi I was using was borrowed. I’m buying one tomorrow. Anything that allows me to type in things like “liquor,” “suhsi,” “coffee” (even “Starbucks”) or, well, you name it — this is what technology should be!

Check out a Nuvi… you’ll be glad you did!
