Did a GPS really help you?
-
Hi- The past two weeks have been a struggle for me to get myself to a few job interviews. All 3 interviews were in places I was unfamiliar with. I look at Mapquest, print out the directions but when I'm about to drive out of my usual range/distance/familiarity, I panic and turn around. It's like I need to know what the route and streets and buildings look like before hand. I've done "dry-runs" with a family member in the car and it has helped a lot but I that's not always convenient. Plus I'm bothering my family a lot with it. A friend suggested I get a GPS. If you have the kind of anxiety I have, does a GPS really help you? I feel scared I'll get lost on the way there AND on the way home. Is a GPS reassuring at all? Does it make you feel safer? How accurate are GPS's? I need to figure something out because I missed 3 job interviews.

Answer:
I don't have quite that level of anxiety (to the point that I panic and don't get there at all), but I used to do "dry-runs" constantly if I knew I had to be somewhere that I'd never been before. I've had a TomTom for about 2 years now, and I've pretty much stopped doing that. Mine isn't even top of the line, and it's accurate to within about 10 feet of my actual location. It's also nice because it's self-correcting. If I miss a turn, it will auto-correct the route and tell me where to turn to get back on track. And it has free map updates. It got me to Chicago and back (a 4 hour trip) on my own, for a friend's wedding.... which I never would have attempted before. So yeah, I'd say it's helped a lot.
