GPS Gives You 4 Days Of Your Life Back

Study: GPS gives you four days of your life back - Source Dvice.com

This is a very interesting article about how a GPS can give you back 4 days of your life per year.  How can they make such a claim?  Because when you use a GPS to get around it can help you to avoid getting lost as well as avoiding traffic jams.  So basically you get to your destination faster, you use less gas, you waste less time and spew less carbon dioxide into the air.

I personally think that this is a true claim.  Just yesterday I printed directions from google maps to drive to a customers house to deliver some packages for Chip, he works at a lighting store and he had to make 2 deliveries.  I went with him so we took his SUV instead of his work van because he really can't have anyone in the van with him.  So anyway, I was telling him where to go according to the printout and we almost got lost because of the street names.  There is Stine and New Stine, we were supposed to turn left on New Stine and stay on Stine when it changes but I had him turn on Stine instead lol.  It's very confusing.  We got all the way to the dead end and were like where the heck are we?

We ended up getting there but we could've gotten there sooner if Chip had a GPS instead.

Having a GPS not only saves time, gas and the environment but it also saves money on paper and printer ink.
