The rental car that we used in Las Vegas came with a GPS system. And if we knew how to use it, I am sure that it would have been very useful.

The GPS system showed us exactly where the car was on the road at any given time. For example, I could look down and see that I am headed west on Flamingo. And, if my destination happened to be on Flamingo, I was golden. However, if my destination happened to be on another road, I was out of luck unless I happened to cross that road. If I crossed the road that I wanted to be on, the GPS would show the name of the road.

After a while, we figured out how to find destinations. Unfortunately, the only destinations that were loaded into the GPS were the airport and the hotels. So, if we selected the MGM Grand as a destination, the GPS would show us where the MGM Grand is located. Unfortunately, it would not show us where we were located in relation to the MGM Grand. Nor would it show us how to get to the MGM Grand so it really wasn’t much help.

I am sure that if we knew how to use the GPS system, it would have been very helpful. As is, it was only a novelty.
