Compass window tinting6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() What should you do when your GPS leads you astray or you simply get lost the old-fashioned way with a wrong turn or missing the street on which you should have turned? Yes, even in this day of technology that still happens. They are yelling at their GPS! Yes, occasionally your trusty GPS can lead you astray, such as taking you to a dead end because the street it tells you to turn on is still being built! You may look at the car next to you with their window rolled down and hear the driver yelling, “Listen, Mortimer! I can’t do a u-turn here!” They aren’t speaking to a passenger. ![]() We can even assign a voice to our GPS systems now! Some of you may even have a name for your GPS voice. That’s a pretty cool fact when you think that our Space Coast is home to both Patrick Air Force Base AND Cape Canaveral. It is a space-based radio navigation system that is a global navigation satellite system. Just in case you didn’t know, GPS stands for Global Positioning System. Most kids probably don’t have a clue how to even read a road map! Have they even seen one? We have GPS! Yes, gone are the days of looking at a paper map before you leave the house, writing down directions and still taking the map with you, just in case. It makes life harder and usually takes longer to get places because you will take a couple wrong turns along the way. But, to those of you in the population who don’t possess this navigational instinct, getting lost may be part of your daily routine. To those of you with that built-in compass, you are baffled by this inability to find one’s way out of a cardboard box. Then, there are those who can get lost going from the living room to the bathroom. You wouldn’t panic. You would look at the sun, the stars, the moss on the trees…whatever it is in your brain that tells you which way to go, you possess it innately! Some of you reading this have been blessed with an innate sense of direction. You could get dropped in the middle of a forest and somehow not only find your way to civilization but would pick up a coffee along the way. ![]()
