gps saves my *** all the time

I'll have to get a GPS at some point.



Mapquest failed me big time, told me to take a LEFT when the actual turn should have been RIGHT and sent me an hour and a half in the WRONG direction.

mapquest is the worst thing to use ever. Tried it my first time going to my friends place in North Carolina. It sent me 2 hours north of his place and then down some weird *** back roads... after that i swore to never use it again.

the mazda radios are trash, my dad has had two replaced in his tribute and the third one's display is now burned out, i just bought him a JVC with ipod controls, gonna put it in tomorrow or monday.

correction, the tribute ones are junk lol, the rest have software issues but no dealer has the hardware to update the radio software so we have to swap it out.



Also Rob about how you said "only way id have an ipod in the car" almost any factory installed ipod connector is exactly like that. In the mazda's everything goes in the glovebox and the only wire the customer ever sees is the one they plug into the bottom of the ipod. Thats the real ipod player tho, most mazdas come with an "aux port" which is a ghetto ipod player.

a few companies make adapters that allow you to connect most oem stereos with an ipod, and even control the ipod from it.. so if your car didnt come with it you can add the feature. Also they make them for aftermarket stereos incase you are going to retrofit a old install. the aux input is cool too but you cannot control the ipod from it.. but useful for me in the big rig at least since we can plug the dvd/laptop/sat radio/phone/etc... you can get a similar adapter for the sat radios too.. the bad part is the price.. these things cost over 100 usually..
