Car compass

Pretty sure that's the case with (at least) Garmin's. The portables I've owned allow for car, motorcycle and truck in addition to pedestrian. I assume with the truck it's taking those into consideration.

Another nice feature is the FM Traffic service. Limited to the metro areas, it is really quite good at warning and routing you around delays. Mine will tell me that there's a jam up on I-90 and say ~ how long. My call to steady the course or bail and let it re-route me.

That's the other thing... I have disabled the "Make a U-Turn" whenever I can on my GPS units. That way it's not trying to get me back on the route it selected but rather keeping me onward, ever onward

Generally that is a GPS that has not had the maps updated. I have an aviation GPS that still shows Meigs Feild. I'l be updating it before it gets used in the plane (hopefully next spring)

Meigs is still there... It's just that that a**hole Daley has it scattered all over the city.

I haven't looked lately but there was one down the road like that. It had been closed to vehicle traffic about 25 years ago and washed out completely in '95 but it was still showing up on some of the digital maps.

Urban areas get updated frequently, rural areas not so much.

They have folding fins so they can glide onto a target from the top of the ballistic arc. I don't know how much maneuvering is possible. I'd assume you would have to be fairly close with the unassisted ballistic trajectory.

Around here if there's a jam on I90 you're screwed. Any rerouting would be a real adventure.

Supposedly yes. They are, of course, morw expensive than the cheap ones most people need. Truckers ave a couple of bucks then call when they can't make a turn someplace en route to us.

I served in the 105mm howitzer field artillery unit. With OP's help we can hit target pretty close pretty quick. I heard that shell costs lot of money and hope it's money's worth.

Braille parking?

If you are standing on the North Pole facing the Sun on June 21, which way is South, to your right or left?

If it works, it would be comforting when you're calling in artillery 100 meters from your position.

You betcha. I was sitting in the truck one day when some woman was braille unparking and backed into me. She continued on her merry way so i don't know if there was any damage to her car. Sure as hell wasn't a problem for the F150.
