I got a turn-by-turn GPS for Christmas, which means that I now have a GPS unit less than 10 years old; I guess it's time for me to join this milennium. I took it for a test drive today, it works pretty well. I'm quite pleased.
To do the test I did drove around and made a couple of visits this afternoon. I stopped by the local aiport, which is always good for the soul (at least it is for mine).
The parking ramp has been resurfaced recently and the lines repainted, which I take to be a good sign.
This is a close as I get to the runway unless I'm driving an airplane myself.
The runway, taken from the road coming into the airport. Unfortunately, my phone didn't take a very good image. 
Sensor and amplifier technology has come a long way. This is a screenshot of the GPS, I'm sitting inside on the couch sort of near a window, and it can still pick up enough satellites to keep a position lock.
So far I've noticed it's very good at knowing what the speed limit is, although it only changes a couple of seconds after you're in the new zone, so it's a good tool if you've lost track, but it doesn't give you any warning.
Oh, and as far my blog: posting images within the pivot software seems to work correctly. I have lots to tweak still. So far I haven't figured out a way to restore the images in all the old posts.
