D: We're into the final stretch. Just over one month left until we hit the States, everything is in order - ESTA forms sorted. We just need to get the horse ride into the Grand Canyon sorted.
Excited doesn't seem to cover it.
We're using my new phone (an HTC One X) as the Sat-Nav - a Sat-Nav with a 4.7 inch screen! This is really the only thing that's making me a tad nervous... What if it doesn't work? What if the GPS doesn't latch on well enough? What if, what if, what if...
It should be fine though. I'm using the rather brilliant Sygic, which has offline maps (so no data connection will be needed). It also gives us lane guidance, which I'm sure will be a life-saver.
It also has a great looking display - 3D cities, with landmarks all over the place. Fingers crossed, 'n all that.
One other thing: we'll be returning to a brand-new kitchen! Which is very nearly as exciting. Nearly, but not quite.
Satnav was SO important for us over there. I was equally nervous that my, ahem, acquired maps for Tom Tom would work properly. They did thankfully. Having the satnav just makes the driving so simple. Especially if you decided to veer off the interstates and drive some rural routes.
ReplyDeleteI've also 'acquired' maps for my Tomtom (which I'm still considering taking with me as a backup). However, it's so old that the useful lane-guidance stuff isn't there. I know it's not the end of the world, but I'm sure it'll be useful.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great time over there :)
I've got a screen mount for the phone... all I need to do is take the USB cable and car charger :D
