<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">My neighbors who are senior citizens are considering getting
a GPS for their car and have asked if I’d be willing to help them pick
one.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Since my own GPS is a factory installed in-dash one I don’t
have any opinions on the ones that one buys and would like some. Of course I
know that Garmin and others exists but not much more than that.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">From things I know and I’ve heard I’m thinking
some of what would be necessary:</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>1)<font face="Times New Roman" size="1"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></font></span></span></font><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Easy to use –
These people aren’t technical. It needs to be easy to input
destinations and also easy to get updates loaded.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>2)<font face="Times New Roman" size="1"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></font></span></span></font><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Large
display and/or audible turn information – I don’t really know how
good their eyesight is but given that they’re older I’m thinking
this would be helpful.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>3)<font face="Times New Roman" size="1"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></font></span></span></font><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Reasonable
price for updates. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Of course any other factors one cares to mention would be
welcome.</span></font></p>
