Hertz "Neverlost" GPS Got LOST!

Hertz "Neverlost" GPS is not so good in the city. Data entry can be a pain. Re-routing is fast and instructions are great. Absolutely necessary in Boston where the next U-turn can be 10 miles down and highways meet in a big round-about near the airport. The GPS got me to the mailing address of the Marriot Courtyard in Boston city. The actual location of the hotel is "go past the summer tunnel, go past the airport...about 5 miles down.... right after the 24 hours liqour store on the right side of the highway when you are coming from the airport... you can't miss it. No we have no street number. It's just that way. You can't miss it."

Well, I did miss it, for about 5 hours with the "friendly" Boston drivers. Traffic was so bad, I peed into my large coca-cola bottle. Unlike the truck drivers, I did not cast my urine bomb onto the highway. I handed it to the recept that gave me the directions to the Countyard and told her I would retrieve it the next day... of course I used the quick checkout option and they never saw me again.

NY and Manhatten is fine, but who wants to get stuck in NY traffic? I just drove past all the famous landmarks, bridges etc to my hotel near chinatown, get the car into a garage and take the metro after I arrive. The fact that I have to tip the bellboy each time I needed the car is of no consequence to me leaving the car in the garage.

In Chicago, Hertz "Neverlost" did not know I was on Madison Ave, it shows me as 1 street away on the parallel. Now this is fine if not for the open park and beach on Madison Ave. I meant what is there to distort the data so badly?!!!

Milwaukee is so far north and remote, it should be part of Canada, there is nothing to block anything. Never got lost in Wisconsin. Some addresses are not what you expected, but generally fine. Hertz "Neverlost" will get you to do a U-turn rathan than a left turn across traffic. I find that annoying.

Went from Mass to Connecticut through the forest roads w/o any GPS. Did fine too except for making the car look like a butcher house. No, nobody was killed in the car. Next time we will try to not put ketchup on our hot-dogs while trying to stir and eat on the road.... but time was so tight and we needed to be there and back on the same day way before the MASSPIKE becomes choked with Friday traffic.

Back in Singapore, my 32-channels Rikaline bluetooth GPS receiver works like a charm!MapKing version 7 for PPC is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.

My GPS setup in the van. Neat huh? Everything in the instru-panel is in view less the high revs. No big lose really, I never rev the van past 3,500 rpm anyway.
