Thank you!! What happened to the lost art of reading a map? I'd rather have a map than directions so I can see the big picture. And what if the systems goes down? Then, what would you do?? I can buy a lot of maps for the $2,500 it costs to buy a car with the system and even the small versions are $200 and flop around all over your car, require power and a thether big brother can use in reverse.

Give me a pocket map and I'm in business and no one knows where I am!!

As for my original thought, I hate my microwave. Not because it doesn't work but because I only use it for popcorn and to melt butter. Food tastes much better warmed in the oven.

So even if something broke, we would have a backup. That's good as I also depend on coffee.
Also...Always remember - you can heat water on the stove and pour it through a broken coffee maker. That's what we do if the power is ever out since we have a gas stove.
