[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought navigation for our German au pair. While I like our au pairs, and they are good drivers, I think some of them are not that bright when it comes to maps. Perhaps its an age/new technology thing, as they are just used to always being able to look up directions on the compter or checking a phone. They are definitely not map-smart and yes I think they should just learn how to read a map and figure it out. And yet because they take care of my kids and I am tired of them getting lost on the way to playdates, I think $100 for a navigation system is worth it to end the frustration. [/quote] One take away from this discussion, for me: I will not let my teenagers use GPS when they learn to drive. I will take them to a new place and make them read maps, follow directions and figure out how to get "un-lost" when lost. This is ridiculous and a real safety issue. [/quote]
