The One, True GPS

Somebody I know needs a GPS for a trip, but doesn’t want to use phone navigation software. Do I have something that works directly with the Global Positioning System satellites? Why, yes I do. A now-idle Garmin nüvi 58 that I bought six years ago, along with a nice beanbag dashboard mount, for getting around greater Phoenix.

After repurposing a 32 GB microSD card to make it possible to update the maps, the Garmin is now ready to go.

Fun fact: The Internet and the Global Positioning System were both created with American taxpayer dollars, under the auspices of the Defense Department, formerly the War Department. Reminding you and all Americans to take the right route and DON’T BE A SUCKER!
