Yesterday I ordered the new GPS from a local Best Buy about 11:00 AM. They offered free overnight shipping so I chose that option. The first email confirmation said the order was placed, but due to Covid it might be delayed. I figured if it came in a day late I would be OK.

The GPS arrived about 3:30 PM yesterday. So 4.5 hours and it was delivered. Cool.

It is of course like the difference between a smart phone from 2010 and a 2020 version. About the same size, but it connects to my cell phone for input of addresses and links to the GPS on the phone for more accuracy. I have it charged up, and the app installed on my iPhone but I have not played with it much. I have a few errands to run today and I will use it to go places that I fully know how to get to, just to get familiar with it.

It will update the maps and software with WiFi or a USB cable. My old GPS was nicknamed Bit-chin Betty, and I had her talk in an Australian accent. It was often funny driving around in California and her her pronounce some of the Spanish names.
